The pen I sold the "blue olive egger" eggs from was with my splash ameracuana roo with silver leakage, and the hens were mostly rejects from my CBM breeding program, ones with mixed lines, to little or no copper, or solid black from my barred olive egger project too. In fact, any bird I didn't know what to do with went into that pen. My brown red turken, the splash ameraucanas, splash clean legged marans, blue clean legged marans too. For the people buying out of that pen though, I only sent the darkest marans eggs from the best girls. Sometimes someone would request the turken cross, or the ameraucana eggs, but mostly it was the nice dark chocolate marans eggs. I didn't hatch any for myself, just for record keeping sake. I didn't want any chicks to hatch that could possibly be of unknown breeding due to having similar traits to purebreds, so those eggs were all sold or eaten.
