So I have been working with Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers for about 2 years and understand most of the basics but I was wondering if y'all could help me out with what these gens would be called...and just for anyone new that would like to learn I will post the words for the abbreviations because I know it can be confusing!
Abbreviations:
BCM=Black Copper Maran
F1= First Generation
BC: (back-cross)
OE: Olive Egger
EE: Easter Egger
AM: Ameraucana
BA: Black Austrolorp (lays pink)
CL: Cream Layer

So what I have in my breeding pens:
BCM x BCM = BCM
BCM x AM = F1 OE
BCM x F1 OE = BC1 (BCM) OE
BCM x EE = BC1 (AM) OE
BCM x BC1 = BC2
BC1 x F1 = ❓ F2 OE??
BC1 x BC1 = BC2
BC1 x EE = BC1 (EE) OE
BC1 x BA = ❓ mauve layer??
BC1 x CR = ❓

This is as far as my brain power is going this evening. Help is appreciated and if anyone has any other egg color questions feel free to post them below....maybe we can help each other.

F1 X F1 = F2.

F1 X another breed = an F2 as well, but also depends on what you're looking for trait wise.

Is this what you're asking for? Sorry if I misunderstood your question.
