What color does your EE lay? Assuming your OE lays olive, the eggs of the offspring should come out olive, but can also come out brown. Since blue is dominant, it depends on the other genes that the moms and dads have.

Then it would be the same. Olive is just a brown coat over a blue shell. Blue is dominant to white and brown, so they may be hiding a brown egg gene.
