The Olive Egger has the O gene (blue egg) but also brown genes, it will probably be quicker to try introducing Leghorn DNA as they have genes that suppress the browning agents. But if you have a rooster you know is O but has no browning genes that is Americauna then you could try doing crosses to him, back breeding to him several generations until the eggs get bluer and then introduce the Leghorn blood as a way of inhibiting the brown genes.If I cross my Americauna rooster with olive egger hen, will resulting offspring potentially lay blue eggs not olive??

By the time you get to F3, it is often hard to guarantee green for the egg color. Usually, there are a lot of brown or even white eggs.
I have a brinsea mini advanced arriving on Tuesday and these lovelies ready to go in. The dad is a Black Copper Marans so I'm very much looking forward to seeing what color eggs these chicks will eventually produce!
25% of them will likely be brown egg layers but you should get some dark green egg layers!I have a brinsea mini advanced arriving on Tuesday and these lovelies ready to go in.
