lucky you! I will stay another year without olive eggers. my only blue egger that started to lay passed away last night. suddenly. she was perfectly well and when she was back to coop in the evening she couldn't walk properly. I put her in the house where her legs got paralyzed or were stretched due to pain. she had tachycardia and spasms so I suspected she got poisoned. with charcoal and plenty of water she vomited but didn't make it. there is no sign of any poison or anything toxic in their coop/run. the other 7 birds that were with her are well. I am not sure what happened to her.

I tried to candle eggs but can see some eggs are dark inside. I have never candled before so I left it alone. I checked in internet and the pics of day 10+ look similar to what I saw, so I just hope.

Oh no! That's so sad! I'm sorry you lost her.

My beautiful naked neck hen Mrs. Ivana Trump. I hope I'll be getting some gorgeous chicks from her and my naked neck rooster "Trump".

She's very sweet and thank you for the kind compliment. Ivana is a little sketchy she's not used to being handled due to being free ranged but I'm working with her. I bought her from a very sweet lady that does rooster rescue.

Is that a buff-red color mixed with the white? Regardless she's pretty.

Regarding Arbequina, per the Eight Acres website, this is how they construct their OEs: F1 was Blue or Black Copper Marans x Welsummer, then the hens from this cross were bred to Wheaten Ameraucana rooster. Then THESE offspring (hens) were covered by a Splash Copper Marans Rooster (to darken the olive color). So maybe the Welsummer? (I don't know their genetics...) Regardless, she lays the most GORGEOUS olive egg ever...

Regarding Goodwin, I got him as a "bonus" chick - she wasn't actually really offering them for sale, as she just had them on hand to work on a project and I had expressed interest in passing. She now has Isabel Ameraucanas (Lavender Wheaten Ameraucanas) available this year (which was presumably her project), so maybe (just maybe) he could have been an oops within that project? (No duckwing on him, as you said before, but maybe something coming through?) Like I said, he was a bonus chick, and there wasn't any guarantee of his purity (which was fine by me). 

So much fun to think about! 

(If I didn't already have so many chicks coming in February, I would have incubated the CL pullets' eggs now that Monkey is with them - but I have had to exercise restraint. Maybe later...)

Eight Acres has the darkest Welsummer eggs I've ever seen.
One benefit probably of adding wellie is probably cause they lay more frequently than marans.
I tried just crossing a hatchery welsummer rooster (the hens were laying very dark spotted but not marans dark) to EEs that laid green/olive. Offspring laid more closer to a dark brown, can't really notice the olive unless you have reg brown to compare. Pretty birds though still have two.
