The Olive-Egger thread!

Trying to find homes for my gray egg gene producing roosters.

What would he have to be bred with to keep producing gray eggs?

Gray egg gene?
Is that a coating or bloom thing...with white shell?
I've probably asked before and forgot the answer.

I think it's bloom over a white egg

They would need to be with an olive egger.

Our gray is bloom over green. When wet, it has a khaki green color with brown flecks. The bloom makes them look gray over blue. Not at all what we'd expect.
