What breed?

[sshrader]

Hello, Not sure if this is the correct spot to post this, but this is more of a question on what would I get.

I have an Ameraucana\EE Rooster & few Wheaten Maran hens. If I cross the Amer\EE roo with the marans, would they be olive eggers or just be more EE's?

Thanks!

If the rooster is pure for blue eggshells, then yes, you would have all Olive Eggers. If he isn't, half would be OE and half would be brown egg layers.

Thanks!

No problem! And for future reference, a more appropriate place to post questions like this is the General breed discussions & FAQ forum.

Thanks again, wasnt sure if to get olive eggers we would need a Maran rooster + Amer\EE hens.

Mixes. The hen might have some silkie or polish in her. How many toes does she have?

 

[Farmer Jonathan]

She has three on the front and one on back, and she also has spurs like a rooster.

Jonathan,

both your birds look to be mixes of mixes. The rooster has some barred ancestry a ways back, and something pea combed....beyond that, hard to say.

the hen looks to have some silkie, but again not a pure silkie as a first generation parent. Maybe some Polish in there also, again a ways back for a pure bred parent.
