The Olive-Egger thread!

[annabellaknits]

Need advice on two subjects. I bred my olive egger with great success, F2. How do you breed to guarantee the olive egg genes? Or can you not? Also I really want to breed to produce a Seafoam green egg to create a rainbow dozen, I have the blues and darker green but nothing in between. Don't tell me to mix a light brown layer with a blue because that's how I got my olive egger? Don't know why there so dark? So what to breed to get the Seafoam egg color?

You can just get a straight up cream legbar - many lay eggs that are more light green than blue... Nice birds, nice production.

So funny - folks who want blue eggs from them get green, folks who want green eggs from them get blue...

No prob. We hope it becomes a semi regular thing, if you can't make it on the 13th maybe next time. I hope all ends up well with your family thing.
