Wanting some olive eggs so Cuckoo Marans roo x CCL hen?

[Huesmom]

So rather disappointedly, the "Olive Egger" i got at feed store is a tan egger. Ok fine she is pretty and sweet but now am considering breeding my own birds to get olive eggs. I have a Cuckoo Marans Roo and 2CCL+1EE hens laying blue and am wondering if that will give me some olive eggs. Can those with some experience on this chime in please?

I wouldn't use the EE. She could have only one blue egg gene. If so half her offspring would potentially lay brown eggs.

Although heterozygous EEs are less common than you think.
But the Legbars+Marans will produce 100% Olive Eggers.
