Have you crossed them with a blue egg laying breed to make Olive egg laying hens(OE)?

Got our first olive egg yesterday. Very pleased with the color. The two blue pullet eggs are Legbar over Easter Eggers, and the pinkish beige is a Swedish Flower Hen. Have five more olive egger pullets yet to lay. Can't wait to see what comes out. Kern

I have a question regarding what to use as a substrate/bedding in my run this winter. What do you use as a substrate in your run? I have shavings in my run now (on top of dirt), but know those probably won't work well if we get the El Nino rains they are hoping for this winter. I have a fairly large run with chicken wire over the top. I am plan to cover it as well as possible with tarps. I have clay soil that does not drain well, and in heavy rain the water will sit on top of the soil. I'm intending to use straw this winter, but will it get moldy? How would I know if it gets moldy. I rent so pouring a slab isn't an option and I;d like to avoid anything heavy, like pea gravel, that I would need to remove if I move. Does anyone have any suggestions of what might work?

We have clay and are on a hill. I use a fair bit of sand so it dries quicker. Still mucky in the really wet weather, not sure what ill do if we do if el nino wins over the blob in the weather wars...
