Also, If I give my hen a Cream Legbar egg, fertilized by a Maran, would I get an olive egger?

beautiful eggs, I always love Maran eggs

I love Marans eggs too! I had two Marans, but unfortunately they were killed by a hawk before they started laying.

Oh dang, Im sorry. I recently found out that a chicken I thought was a barred rock (and I bought it for the price of one), was actually a cuckoo Maran. Unfortunately mine was also killed before it started laying eggs. Right around week 24 too.
I was looking back at pictures and realized it had pink/grey legs and not bright yellow.

I'm sorry to you too!
If any hatch I'd better keep them locked up until POL.

And sorry for all the confusion - but my hens are definitely not broody yet. I think I was just getting excited and wishing it into existence . I will leave a clutch of fake eggs though and keep trying. But they do sit in the boxes much more than usual and growl at other chickens that come close (something they never do). So I think they might be trying it out.

Here's a picture of them all trying to fit in the same box, even though I have 5.
