Mrs Jocelyn who has both genes on her flock of Rapa-Nui(easter island) and native south americans (blue Mate and Blue shiny) has reported that the gene is recessive


it would be so nice to have a shiny Olive eggs

I guess I never noticed I had shiny olive eggs...the fluorescent office lighting isn't the greatest...but you can see the shine.

No flash.

I feel like the egg is a little darker in the photo than in person...and again, the bad lighting skews the color. The egg is laying on a white sheet of typing paper.

This photo is with a flash. I'll have to use my good camera in natural light next time and not the iPhone4 !

I hatched some of this hens eggs (bred with a EE/Welsummer roo) and, hopefully, in August I'll have some of those really dark olive eggs.

I know this was posted a looooong time ago and many many posts ago. But I worked on a new "cheat sheet" and would like to see if someone could verify it for me...

Thanks in advance!

well that chart its quite accurate except the part where you breed the F1s together and you get all kinds of color, the color missing there is White(yes you will get white eggs if you hatch enough F2s or F3s

THANKS!!! So all I need to do is to include a white egg? How about white "speckled" (if there is such a thing like that...)?

I have seen White speckled eggs with white/creamy speckles, but this will be included as White eggs, as not to confuse people, because if you start adding speckled olive eggers, speckled gree eggers people will get all confused

Got it! Ok, so I'll remove the speckled eggs... You're right, people might get confused and the idea is to show the possible colors themselves, and not if they are speckled or not.

Stay tuned, final chart coming very soon!

Once again, thanks for your help...
