The Olive-Egger thread!

[Infinity]

Thanks...will check it out!

I tried doing a search, and I'm not sure if this has been asked since I can't seem to find it on this particular thread, but has any one on here gotten OEs from Meyer? I had two in my last order, and I still can't figure out what they should look like. I'm pretty sure we figured out one that's definitely a Legbar cross, but I can't point out the other... If any one else bought one or a few, I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see some pictures to compare.
Also, I have two 16 week old OEs in my coop, and I'm already learning from this thread. Sooo.....

HEY!

Has anyone ever crossed a legbar with a rhodebar. Seems the result would be a autosexing Olive Egger. Anyone?

Maybe a light olive since the RB eggs are light toned?

It has happened accidentally when people have had their Cream Legbar get in with their Rhoderbars on the sly.

Ihliani I notice that you have Isbars. Have you ever crossed one of them with a dark egg breed or with a blue to see how it affected the shade of green they have?

Quote: Yes, I noticed that they don't have a picture of their mature OEs...pretty expensive.

I have a hen that is a cross between an Isbar and a Marans. Her egg is green/olive but not dark. She came from a mix of hatching eggs I purchased, so I don't really know what a regular Isbar egg looks like to compare it too.
Her egg looks like this (center):
