Crested Easter Egger Hatching Eggs

[aart]

I've hatched about 20 chicks so far from my crested cream legbar hens bred to either my Cukoo Maran rooster or Ameraucana rooster.

Does not an Olive Egger make.

2 blue egg breeds.

2 blue egg breeds.

Yes, the question was anyone trying to make crested Easter eggers. Which I think Easter eggers are mixed breeds of different colors. I'm attempting to breed olive eggers but since they are first generation they aren't guaranteed to be Olive, they might lay blue, spearmint, olive, or brown. Which I think would qualify them as Easter eggers until the 2nd generation or prove to be olive eggers.

If you look carefully at what I bolded in your quote,
I was referring specifically to you're using CCL hens and Am cock.
"crested cream legbar hens bred to

Yes, and would it not be qualified as an Easter egger? Every cream legbar hen is bred to either rooster but I’m not sure which rooster fertilized each egg. I’m hoping to breed olive eggers but, technically they won’t all be. So I think they are technically Easter eggers

EE OE usually implies a blue laying breed crossed with a brown laying breed.
So an Am x CCL would not be an EE OE ...2 corrected 'typos'.

In current American usage, an Easter Egger is ANY chicken that possesses the "blue egg" gene, but doesn't fully meet any breed standard defined in the American Poultry Association's standards.


Olive Egger chickens are not a breed, per se, but a cross of two breeds — usually a blue egg layer and a dark brown egg layer.

I think you might have EE and OE confused a bit a CCL and Am would be an EE, but not an OE

No, not confused...but made a 'typo' and fixed it.

Had it right in this post
