Are they both olive eggers?

[Jiaramos]

I have two 18 week old chicks that I bought from a private breeder. He said they were olive eggers, but they both have different features. They looked alike when they were younger, but not any more. What do you think?

Olive Eggers can be created a few different ways, with varying components. As long as one crosses a blue egger with a dark egger, the result is an Olive Egger. This could explain why they look nothing alike.

They might both be olive eggers since Olive Eggers are crossbreds that lay olive-colored eggs.

Dark egg layer+blue egg layer= olive Egger

I'm thinking they are both olive eggers, maybe legbar crossed with cuckoo Marans.

agree with Jed Jackson

Olive Eggers can be created many different ways. They are created crossing a blue egg layer to a dark brown egg layer.
the bird on the left is a Cream Legbar cross, and the one on the right looks like a Marans cross. Of course, they could both be Legbar x Marans, and they just took after the other parent.
