Olive Egger egg possibilities

[Rooski456]

Thankfully, despite my wishes for an olive egg I still have a happy healthy chicken laying eggs. I do have a sapphire sky laying green and two Easter eggers coming up to laying age so will have some variation. I’ll definitely be retrying my luck with olive eggs in the future when I have room for more chickens.

I think it’s so funny how they decide to pop up or not pop up. I bought three Easter eggers from a farmer down the way (expecting just a total backyard mix) and they have them and my little mutt rooster looks kinda like a brown red Ameraucana

My two look very Legbar-y, but no crests, etc. and both with pea combs and slate blue legs turning to willow green.

Are your Sapphire Sky eggs a clear green or an olive?

Like mentioned, some places will use EEs as the blue egg layer to make an OE but that doesn't always work if the EE doesn't have 2 copies of the blue egg gene.

See if you can find someone selling Black Copper Marans over Crested Cream Legbars. Those mixes are super cute and much more likely to lay olive (if bred well, a certainty). Best part is they're sex linked so you won't end up with a cockerel.

probably closer to a clear green but kinda in between. They’re the egg in the first picture on this post.
