    I hatched only 2 OE pullets this spring, out of a couple dozen eggs I set. Oh well, I'm happy with the girls I do have. This girl should be giving me eggs any day now.

    Wondering if anyone knows what this Olive Egger pullet will look like when mature? I've never grown out a bird with her pattern/color.

    @buckabucka egg color genetics are complex enough, but I think you're understanding of the potential egg colors from the cross you mentioned, is sound. Odds are you'll get some more bluish-turquoise layers? Or perhaps a lighter sage or avocado green layer? If your OEs have pea, or modified...

    How are your pens set up? Isbar male over BCM hens? Or BCM male over Isbar hens? Just wondering about the color of the resulting pullets, whether they will be gold or silver based.

    I can't wait to see those eggs! I'm anticipating setting another round of eggs in May... do you think you'll have Isbar X Marans hatching eggs still available then?

    Feather pattern/color is indicative of a pullet... but with crosses, it's always harder to be certain. I'm betting it's a girl tho.

    Lovely egg! I've had Wheaten OEs before & loved them, because of a move & going back to school I had to rehome a lot of my birds... but I'm settled again and want color in my egg basket again. One of my Wheaten OEs from the past... Her egg is the one at 6 o' clock in this pic.

    Can't wait to have olive eggs again. I'll be breeding Wheaten Marans to Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas this season to produce some olive laying babies. Wheaties are my favorite.

    Does your Barnie lay dark brown eggs? Most Barnevelder crosses I've seen lay a very pale green/olive colored egg.

    Lighting and background color play a big role in how your eggs look in pictures. Some of my olive eggs from the past... no adjustments to color necessary.

    You'll get all Black chicks, split to Lavender in your first generation. You'll need to breed the offspring together or breed one of her sons back to his mother to produce visibly Lavender babies. Good luck!
