It depends. If your green egg layer has one copy of the blue egg gene, roughly 50% pullets from the cross will lay a green egg, and 50% will lay a brown egg. 

If your green egg layer has two copies of the blue egg gene, all pullets will lay green eggs. 

Well, as she was supposed to be an olive egger so I am going to guess fifty fifty.

 

[daxigait]

noooooo  thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu

my guess is a paler green?  how green is the egg?  is that one in the images?

it is a green like money. Yes, it is the green one in the middle.

Well, I'm working on it. I've found a source for Black OEGB eggs just 45 minutes from me and I'm going to talk to our Amish neighbor about getting some more of his OEGB eggs from him this week and those eggs are going in my Brinsea next month, hopefully. I was out in the coop yesterday and saw my little OEGB cockerel try to mount one of my Welsummer hens. She just went about her business, scratching and pecking, saw something across the coop that she just had to have and trotted by me....with the little cockerel riding on her back with a mouth full of neck feathers, hanging on for dear life. All I could do was laugh and say 'And out of Chute 1 we have Oliver, trying to stay on the 'onery bronc, Dolly! Go Dolly! Ride 'em Oliver!' I gotta get that boy some more compliant hens to call his own.

@Fire Ant Farm@duluthralphieThese are my eggs tonight. The one in the far right corner is very green and funilly belongs to my only CCL pullet. The one in the middle was supposed to lay olive eggs, but it is basically just a nice green(Do you know what the pullets from her are going to produce with my HRIR cock?)
The far left egg that is a tinted greenish blueish white is a Sapphire (CCL over Leghorn). I so wanted blue eggs she was the only pullet and the egg is not blue. My only hope now is my Ameruacana pullet that did not get started before the short days. They take too long to lay. No wonder people like EE's more.

Kristen, I worked on cleaning out a fence row, and used my favorite hand saw that I told you about that you can fold and stick in your back pocket. Did you ever get one? I love how easy it is to cut even six inch or more trees or limbs.

If you had asked me to pick out the legbar egg, I would have picked the top left, weird.
