Olive egger using tan egg like Orpington.

[Minky]

I know an olive egger is made with blue egg gene and dark egg gene. I have made with Marans and CLB.

I am curious what colour you get if you breed a CLB or Ameracauna to an orpington or other tan layer.
Is it just moss green?? I am wondering if you will get that yellowy green diarrhea colour that some people call olive.
Has anyone any photos to share?
thanks

You would get an average green. Normal EE egg

Excellent, ok, thanks

I had an ameraucana rooster and chose the darkest brown eggs from orpingtons/RIR with speckles to hatch. First egg laid by one of the chicks yesterday in photo below.
