I have a beautiful BCM looking hen that has a beautiful olive egg she lays. (she is clean faced too feathered legged) If they get mixed up it is hard to tell. the F1s are easier to tell than F2s
I have 3 barred (cuckoo/amerucana) hens. They have fluffy creeks and very pretty. Two lay olive eggs one lays a brown egg. Which way would you breed them. Back to a golden cuckoo? Or back to Spash amerucana.
