They will lay olive eggs. Maybe a lighter green for some, but those will be spotted. That's the beauty of f1 with true Ams. No guess work!

The shade and darkness of green is variable. Kern

Understood. I have no green layers so I'll be happy with anything green.

These are some that I hatched, Marans and Welsummers. Marans are a bit darker, not much.

Quote: Yeah not so dark on either count but nice speckles on the wellies, hopefully that comes thru on the olives.

Those are awesome. I have a Marans that lays eggs about the same color as yours, except hers has a dozen or so really dark speckles on them. I also have a Wellie chick. Can't wait to cross them with some nice AMs next year!
