The Olive-Egger thread!

Yes you are right! I guess what Im trying to say is I only want the 1st generation Olive Egger to come from a Maran and a Wheaten and not an EE. Sorry about that. Im confusing myself!

Why? Wheaten is recessive and will not show. Now if you use a Wheaten Marans, you would have Wheaten Olive Eggers.

I think someone is working on that too.....

I am going to try wheaten ameraucana x wheaten Penedesenca next spring/summer

Looks great! Lovely color. Congrats.

Thank you very much. Its easy for me to do this get the right color thing. We have a poultry auction every Wednesday, so I don't have to cull. Sell off the roosters, grow out girls, keep best layers, start over.

Heyo! I have one lil olive egger pullet that I've had since her first day as an egg and her lil bro (who turns out to be a FCM who's not really her brother but I hatched him with her) and they are 3 months old now ^.^ my lil olive egger gal is my fav though. I was wondering, her being a mix between ameraucana and FCM, what shade should her eggs be? And do olive eggers go broody? Because I was going to use her to incubate eggs since its better to use a chicken than an incubator like mine. And could I use her to incubate other bird eggs too? Like chickens, quail, duck, goose, swans, pheasant, ect? And is there any way to be sure that she's a hen? Thank y'all do much! I'm so excited about my lil gal! (her name is Aqualympic btw)
