Hi friends!! I just added 2 Whiting True Blues to my flock. First of all, wow...they are beautiful birds! My question is, my roo is a French Black Copper Maran, am I right in thinking that if I breed them, their babies will be olive eggers? I appreciate the answers!

Yes, daughters from that cross should lay olive eggs.

Genetics can be quite a puzzle sometimes, and it's quite exciting to figure part of it out correctly!
