The egg on the bottom far right was just laid today by my first generation OE. She was from a blue egg layer EE under a BCM. the others are from 2nd generation and some 1st. As you can see, I get olive eggs right from the start using my bluest eggs. I never used green eggs only blue eggs under a Marans, I will try to hatch this one as it is under a Lav. AM to see what color egg will be next. All the others are under a 2nd generation OE and I will be hatching them on NYD. I did have one hatch today out of the OE/OE eggs, will tag it and hope it is a girl.

Yes I meant BLUE Cuckoo, I don't have Golden Cuckoo...... So I thought autosexing would breed true? or is that cross a Sexlinked cross?

Here's "Brownie", my surprise olive egger:



and here are her first two eggs. Very different in size and color:



Here's a bunch of colors I am getting right now, with Brownie's eggs on the left:

That's awesome! Brownie looks like she has German New Hampshire in her! Some of my GNH lay a pretty dark egg, so I can see how if one is crossed with an Ameraucana, the eggs would come out olive.

Thank I will.

Has anyone crossed an Ameracuna with a welsummer? I think those would be some pretty cool olive eggs. I love the spots on the welsummer eggs and think it'd be BEAUTIFUL to mix the two!! Just curious.

I plan on mixing a wellsummer with my F 2 olive Eggers come this spring I would love to see some Spotted olive Eggs
