The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

Speaking about my Olive Egger, she laid yesterday. Unfortunately she didn't lay me an olive egg.
The grayish egg is from the Fibro Easter Egger.

It was kinda hard getting the true color of the Olive Egger egg. It's like a minty turquoise type color. Hard to describe.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Any of those

Okay.
Sorry for the tired brain.

It's not Olive anyway.

I see a great egg and a slate bluish egg

Maybe easier to get the true color after I wash it.

Do you have pictures of the possible parents?

I do, on the computer, so I can't get to them. The EEs are basically all wildtype, and look pretty much the same, orangey. The Delaware is hatchery quality, and so are the SLW, but they're standard, and both Wyandottes have rose combs.

All look straight Easter Egger. Nothing indicates a crossing with Wyandotte, nor Delaware.

From their looks and comb shape I say, 100% that the EE is their dame.

The thing is, one of them has to be a Wyandotte cross. I hatched three SLW eggs, and got two pullets with walnut combs, and nothing else. One other pullet looked to be the Delaware cross, based on coloring, and the last one was an EE cross.

None of the picture you showed have walnut comb nor males with barring. So please update pictures with those

Can you get pictures of the other parents? The EEs, Wyandottes, & Delawares?

Delawares are Silver Columbian Barred, so if an EE rooster were to cross with a hen, the offspring would be sexlinked. Males that grow up Barred, & females solid.

If the EE male were Gold, & bred with Delaware they would be sexlinked that way too, with males being silver, or Gold/silver Split, & females being gold.(Forgot to include the Silver Laced Wyandotte to the equation)

Pictures, as requested.

The possible moms:

In total, there were four EE eggs, three Wyandotte eggs, and one Delaware egg. The two SLW cross pullets look like this, solid blue with walnut combs.

And the two other pullets, black with silver leakage.
