Those are really beautiful olive eggs ~ I think the interesting thing about olive eggs is the variety of colors that you can get. It makes a beautiful egg basket.

True. In fact I'm hoping I will learn more on the genetics of them when making my own this fall. I've seen two VERY different shades of olive made by two pairings in which the parents seemed to have the same egg color. One was Penedesenca x Araucana, made a pale stone colored egg. The other was Marans x Ameraucana - made a rich dark olive color. Both of the parental pairs had the same blue and dark red color of egg.

Genetics is an amazing thing ~ I have 6 brothers and sisters, and all seven of us are from the same parents, yet one has blond hair & blue eyes, while another has red hair & greyish eyes & I have dark hair and hazel eyes ~ the rest are somewhere in between. We all do share the same blood type of O- the same as our parents.

I love all the shades of olive! They are beautiful! I'm hoping for speckled olive eggs by using my wellie roo over pure Ameraucana girls.
Those are great colors! I have two Olive eggers. BCM Roo and my americauna! They are four months old. I can't wait! They will be laying age about the November. With winter coming, do you think they will not lay until after winter?

Does anyone here have any barred olive eggers that look brownish before they moult? I posted this in another thread a while back, and most people concurred it was fading from pre-moult colors. I just think she always looks browinsh, was wondering if anyone else had their birds look like this?
I read this on another thread, Patty ....
Look under the discolored feathers. If they are not discolored underneath, then it is caused by the sun.
