Pretty! Sapphire olive egger?

You're welcome, chicken genetics are pretty fascinating. :) I gave hatching eggs to a few other folks to hatch and raise, the chicks are going to be coming of age the next few months. Easy way to spread my Project. :D

I don't have olive eggers that are that cross, but I think my starlight green eggers have RIR in them, they are a cross between a Prarie Bluebell egger (which is an Aruacana x white leghorn) x "Brown egg layer" according to the hatchery site. Their eggs are a lighter green though. I'm glad you...
