They're just mixed breeds. Olive Eggers would be an appropriate title

Have you heard some people refer o them as Easter Eggers possibly?

Olive eggers are Easter eggers, but their egg color is specified in the name

I mean you could? Personally I would call them Olive Eggers since you're not going to get any blue layers out of the cross with the Maran's dark egg genes. They're a desirable cross and it's the most transparent labeling in my opinion

They'd be barnyard mixes, mutts ir Olive Eggers of you really cared about a title.
