There is a chance you will get olive eggs.

Chances would be better if they were hatching out of blue eggs.

ok, question. If I breed a rir rooster with a easter egger, will I get olive eggers?

 

[enola]

If the hens lay blue eggs you will get green eggs I am not sure how dark green though.

Yes the easter eggers are the hens. Rir is the rooster

out of those pics, Only this one seems to be pea combed and a female at that... mind you that single creasted birds out of that cross means that they have 4 to 5% of inheriting the blue egg shell gene...
