These are my 3 OE girls. The combs look straight to me.

mstricer - I just love all those colors, two years ago I had no idea chicken eggs could be so interesting.

It has a straight part in the center and then little bumps on the sides.

Something like this:

is that the product of a CCL x wheaton Ameraucana?

Quote: That is an SG Dorking X Wheaton Ameraucana. She was an accident--The Breeder did not separate the roos soon enough.

She is fantastic!

Thank you, I love the colored eggs. It's fun to see what you will get.

I forgot who asked (and it was a few pages back), but this is an Isbar. They are terrific chickens!



Theoretically they should have two copies of a colored egg gene, so all of your Isbar x Marans chicks will be Olive Eggers.

Thank you! That was me. She's beautiful!
I was told they would hatch B/B/S. I think I have 2 blacks and a blue, although I'm still having trouble identifying everyone in this mixed hatch!

OH cross them with BIRCHEN Marans and keep the color pattern.... if you could get the egg color right too they would breed true

Yours and mine are colorful, here is my set

Drooling! Can't wait! my Black copper Marans should be laying by early summer so I can make some olive eggers too! Beautiful eggs!

I believe mine were from an Amerucana hen, and a Barnevelder roo. So without pea comb they are less likely to pass on the gene. What would a combination comb look like?

These are my 3 OE girls. The combs look straight to me.

I had the straight combs with mine as well and all laid olive eggs.
DMRippy could it be the barnie's themselves? mine where the same cross
lavender ameraucana x bantam barnevelder
