Yea my first ever Olive Egger egg, soooooo fun. It's from my OE Jade who is exactly 23 weeks today, it's a light Olive I would say, but very beautiful and a great size for being a first egg. Jade came from gvntofly05 stock.
Here is Jade

and her egg

another shot compared to EE eggs (far right)

i am going to put together 2 breeding pens for OE soon...

pen # 1 splash Ameraucana rooster over 2 white emp hens with white legs(they are supposed to be yellow) and 2 murry mcmurry EE's that have strait combs and lay brown eggs and one pea combed EE that lays a brown egg...

pen # 2 i mossy BCM rooster that hatched out of a very dark egg over 3 blue Ameraucana hens that don't have good beards... and 3 murry mcmurry EE's that lay blue green eggs...

It's Olive Egger day here on BYC!! I got my first one, too - this is Sam:

And her little, khaki/olive pullet egg:

I think she is about 31 or 32 weeks. Ameraucana/ BCM cross.

A friend of mine is hatching some Olive Eggers....I am just learning about the genetics on chickens so please bear with me.
I have a Welsumer/EE cross roo. What could I get from the cross of my roo and one of the olive eggers? Also....if I have an OE roo...I have EEs and some nice Faverolles....what could I get from them. I am trying to figure this on paper but it ends up looking like gibberish!!
