The Olive-Egger thread!

[Renee97038]

I am hatching some Olive eggers in my incubator. My question is what color the chicks might be when hatched?

My rooster is Wheaten Ameraucana EE cross, and the hens are either Black Copper Marans and some Welsummer. I would sure like some of these olive eggers to be some other color than cooper Marans, but in past olive eggers when Marans was used I always got hens that looked more like Marans. My hope is the Wheaten colors of my rooster will cross the colors, right?

I would say the Wheaten ee cross isn't going to be homogenous for the Wheaten color, so it might have hidden recessive traits.

I have a pullet who just started laying light olive eggs, her dad was an LF wheaten ameraucana (who came from a line with greenish eggs) and her mom was a hatchery bantam cornish who laid brown eggs

I bought some olive eggs and they hatched nicely. What color eggs would they lay and who do I mate them with in order to continue getting olive eggers?

Well I hope this joker is a hen but I have my doubts, It is kinda cool looking. Its a cross of Crested Cream Legbar hen with Copper Maran rooster in hopes of an olive egger

How old is the chick?

Makes a big difference because both breeds in the cross have big straight combs.
