I need some help Please

I have Blue Ameraucana Hens under Olive Egger Roos that are Marans x Ameraucana. They both(roos) have muffs and a beard, one has a pea comb mix and the other a beautiful straight comb. I am hoping their chicks will produce some great olive eggs. What do you think?

I'm very exited about having an Olive Egger! I always loved the few olive colored eggs a few of my hens layed and never new I could reproduce it. I just last week put some Americauna hens with my BCM, Soon they will be in the oven...well, the incubator.

I want to have them in my mix of eggs to sell at our farmer's market.

I have jealously been reading all these posts and drooling over all the gorgeous olive egg photos for weeks now, but finally I will be incubating the eggs from my blk. copper marans roo and blk. and lavendar ameraucana hens next week.

Can anyone tell what the chicks will look like from these crosses? bcm x blk am. bcm x lav. am.

could a Welsummer rooster be used to create Olive eggers?

Yes with a blue egg layer.

It's fun to plug in all the different hen and rooster possibilities to see what you will get!

In January I hatched out my Welsummer/Lav Ameracuana cross olive eggers. Today my FBCM/Lav Ameracuana cross olive egger eggs I have in the bator are starting to pip. Don't know which waiting is worse...the 3 weeks it takes to hatch or the 5 months it takes before you see what color egg you have finally ended up with!!
