Wanted F2 Olive eggers (Dark Olive!) chicks, eggs or pullets.

I have 1st gen Olive egger hatching eggs. Ameraucana hens with BC Marans roos. The offspring I have raised lay dark olive eggs or dark olive eggs with brown speckles. I also can collect second gen eggs but they are Ameraucana x Marans and some have a little Cochin tossed in since they are my free range flock. They are excellent layers and broodies showing up with a pile of chicks several times a year.

Val-do you have pics of the dark olive eggs from your first generation OE's? Also, what do you charge and how much is shipping?
 
My computer locks up when I try to insert photos on here for some reason...so here is a link to the pic.

This is a medium toned one, some are darker some lighter but none of the super dark brown/khaki/olive that I have seen. Crossed back to Marans would probably give you that. The one on the right is a white egg and the one on the left an Ameraucana egg for comparison, and yes, they tend to be this big :)

Sorry didn't answer all of your questions, They are $1.50 per egg for the Ams crossed to Marans for Olive Eggers. Shipping is Priority Mail cost (usually $10-15 depending on where and how many) + plus $2.50 for all the bubblewrap I use.

Luanne has amazing second generation olive eggers and will ship (not sure about hot months). She has set her incubator and should have straight run chicks by Oct 1. She also sells olive eggs to hatch. Excellent set up and reputation. I am buying from her for her Oct 1st hatch:
