Are Olive Eggers different from Easter Eggers? If so, what's the difference? Just egg coloring?

An EE is produced by crossing a blue gene egglayer with any other chicken. The resulting eggs can be light beige to pinkish white, blue green and everything inbetween.

An OE is produced by crossing a blue gene egglayer with a dark (chocolate) brown gene egg layer such as Barnevelders, Welsummers, Marans, Penedesenca, and Empordanesas. The resulting eggs can be medium to dark olive green.

Buff Orpingtons, Blue-laced Wyandottes, Cuckoo Marans, Speckled Sussex, and Ameracaunas (although from other entries on this thread, they are probably Easter Eggers)

You lookin' at ME?

They do love balancing acts!

Wow that's really good information! Thank you! Now I want an Olive Egger! Chicken math bites again.

does anyone know what breed these are ?

They look kinda like my White Leghorns did as chicks. Or maybe a White Plymouth Rock?
But I am no expert. Put them on the thread about what breed/sex is my chicken and someone will probably know. Do you have any more recent pictures?
