Olive Eggers?

[intownlimits]

So I bought some ebay hatching eggs and it was supposed to be a split dozen of welsummer and OE..... I can identify 4 OE but stuck on the other 2 plus the extra I got...help! They go in the bator tonight.

Stumped on the 2 darkest

Welsummer ...right? (forgive my ignorance) minus the 2 on the right.

Marans lay dark brown eggs and a couple other breeds.

Those are some light OE eggs IF they’re even OEs. They almost look blue/white.

That's what I was thinking. The seller said the OEs were Amerecauna over welsummer and BCM.... guess he meant I'll be hatching the f1s,and not f2s

Yeah, F1 Olive Eggers hatch from either a dark brown egg or blue egg, it will depend on the parents. I also use an Ameraucana rooster over FBCM so my olive eggers hatch from dark brown eggs.

Here is a picture of the olive eggs next to the brown eggs, all my olive eggers hatched from the brown eggs.
