I know that one of my Olive Eggers is an Ameraucana and Black Copper Marens cross, but I was skeptical on the other one. She's sort of wheatan, but with more of a gray color. I looked into it, and I found that to breed Olive Eggers they also use Cream Leg Bars and Welsummers. she looks like a Cream Leg bar, but with darker gray, so I knew that I had solved the mystery!

Should be interesting to see how she feathers out. Mine that's crossed with a leg bar and welsummer is colored like the welsummer but has a slight crest.
