Hoping to get Olive Eggers!

[Fallenone05]

So i got a male from a friend of mine. He was a Crele rooster and a cross, himself.

Father - Laced Wyandotte x Easter Egger, Crele color
Mother(s) - Pure white Ameraucana x Father or White&Gold Ameraucana (EE?) x Father

Both hens laid blue eggs.

Mothers must have had blue hidden in their genetics as many of the babies that hatched have blue tones in their feathers.
One of the moms. My pure white hen passed away.

I d am not an eggspert, but I do not believe that Wyandotte egg color is dark enough to make an olive egger, I may be missing something, but you never really eggsplain the colors of the eggs that the hens laid.

Puns were completely intended

Both mothers laid blue eggs!
I was wondering if it'd be olive or more minty, though.

Do you happen to know what colored egg the father's mother laid?

My honest guess is brown or green. She has EEs that lay both.

Ok

This is something I pulled off of Google

So Wyandottes are tan egg layers, with the green eggs would make a mint egg,then put that with blue eggs, and you get colored egg, I don't know beyond that point, and this chart does nothing to help, it just goes over the favorable colors.

So if you want a bird that lays olive green eggs you need to cross your blue egg layers with a rooster that lays dark brown eggs such as a Marans or a Welsommer.

Some of these babies have dark green legs. I've never really raised EE birds but I've been told that leg color can be indicative of egg color. Not always of course, BUT. It has me curious. One of the hens has blue-blue legs and a few have dark green, along with the blue and red roo having dark green.
