Olivians!!! The creation of olive egger hybrid LF lens!

Marans lay the most dark brown egg, especially the feathered legged black copper, but have some hatching problems.

Yes, Marans can be tricky to hatch; they need less humidity during incubation due to the thicker layers of pigment over the shell. I always incubate my Marans eggs in a separate incubator so that I can control this.

ETA: If you're looking to get a really dark olive, this will also apply to those eggs; once you reach that point where they have such thick pigment coating, they will have similar humidity requirements.

Nice choices for the poll! I had never thought of using dark brown layers other than Marans. Barnevelders and Welsummers are excellent choices, as well as the legbars and Araucanas of different types.
