What egg color will I get?

[Feath3rDust3r]

I have some black chicks from a Lavender Orpington roo and a Sapphire Olive Egger. Both are straight combed so the chicks and straight also. They came out of very green eggs so I was wondering what color eggs they might lay? Does it mix...light brown And green ...so pale green ? Or does it usually end up one or the other?

I think the Olive Egger hen will be carrying a gene for blue eggs as well as one for brown eggs which is why her eggs are olive coloured. So the resulting chicks may lay either brown or green eggs depending on what gene they get from their mother. I'm no expert but that's how I understand it. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge on the subject helps you out.
