it would be so nice to have a shiny Olive eggs

according to Mrs. Jocelyin this shiny egg trait is recessive, and the Mate triat is dominant, do you have any experince with this traits you wish to share? as have you notice its mode of inheritance?

now some Shiny Olive Eggers,

I've got mostly shiny dark olive layers. The colour looks almost goldish sometimes using the flash on the camera

more Shiny eggs(just one shiny Olive egg)

I guess I never noticed I had shiny olive eggs...the fluorescent office lighting isn't the greatest...but you can see the shine.

No flash.
