Cuckoo Marans and Olive eggers?

[dianneS]

How dark is the typical Cuckoo Maran egg color? If I crossed a cuckoo maran and an EE, would I get olive eggs?

i have a cuckoo that lays a golden egg... not nearly the chocolate the marans are known for, and another that lays an egg that can't be id'd between the RIR and BR and hers....

these were hatchery stock though... my neighbor has a cuckoo that he says lays as dark as his BCM's....

if your ee laid green or blue to begin with and your mixed with a cuckoo you might possibly hatch an olive... depending on what colors are being contributed...

I got chicks from a breeder and the birds lay a medium brown egg with dark speckles. My welsummers lay solid dark brown eggs.
