Quick question about genetics if anyone knows.

I have Olive Egger hens who have laid beautiful olive eggs. But lately they’ve been more blueish but not the good kind of blue.

Even though they’ve laid olive in the past the ones I had when I chose to incubate are light in color. Will the pullets hatched out of those eggs lay that dull color or will they lay olive like the original color the hens used to lay? (I mean besides the whole it depends on the rooster too)

I quit buying Tyson products when I found out he owned Clinton.

I didn’t know this but it’s amazing to me how much influence companies have in politics. It’s not just Tyson. It’s a lot of them. And lobbyists and such. It shouldn’t be that way.

Olive eggs are a combination of the blue egg gene and the brown egg gene. There is no fool proof way to predict the future color of eggs from chicks that were hatched from olive egger parents. There are many threads discussing this that are available to you via the search feature.

They definitely have a lot of influence. All the big companies and rich people all have their hand in the cookie jar.

How many chickens do you have?

We live in farming country so that might be why

My dad said Tyson who is down the road is going to shut us down

I programmed feed mills for a time for Tyson and a bunch more poultry and swine producers over 10 years ago. It was certainly an interesting job.

Yeah, it’s really a shame!!! It’s supposed to be for the people.

But I better stop talking politics before I get in trouble LOL
