Hello! I have currently have one main flock covered by 2 splash Ameraucanas and have been experimenting with all the fun colored (and bearded!!) babies.
The barred rock/Ameraucanas are currently my favorite due to the males growing up barred.
Basically I want to create a line of Barred Olive Eggers.
I am not great at genetics lol
So, my question is: Would these barred olive Egger roosters over a regular barred rock hen create more olive Eggers or would the hens have a 50% chance of laying green or brown?
Then, would you cover all of the resulting hens with a barred Maran to darken the olive?
I don't know if this actually makes sense or not because sometimes it sounds better in your head
