What is my olive egger a mix of?

This is Hoagie Elizabeth Wizwit.
Hatchery information said “Our Olive eggers are f1, meaning first generation, and are bred from Black Copper Marans, Welsummers and Ameraucanas.”

I’m thinking she’s Black Cooper Maran (brown tones on her neck feathers) and Ameraucana (her lovely beard and muffs).

Does that sound right?

Does she have feathered legs? She could be a Welsummer mix. Or their marans aren't the kind with feathered legs.

She does not! Ooo that it interesting! I have zero experience on this so I was going off of pictures online haha

She looks like an Americauna Maran cross to me. I have a couple of those out in the coop right now. Those puffy cheeks are an Arcauna trait.

She definitely looks like my Maran crosses. Mine are Maran x Faverolle, but since she has clean legs I agree with the Maran x Americauna.

Thank you so much!

I agree with Marans/Ameraucana mix, but I'm questioning her being a first generation cross. If she were she shouldn't have a single comb, unless they use "Americana" which most hatcheries tend to do

Thanks for this info!
She’s from mt healthy hatchery and unfortunately I only have their word to go by. Excuse my very beginner question (I’m also a super curious person) but is there any way her comb is from her maran genes?

Not with the breeds they claim were used. Pea combs are dominant and a true Ameraucana should have two copies of this gene, so when bred to a Marans all offspring should inherit one copy of the gene and show a pea comb.
If they use a Americana/EE since they aren't actually a breed it's possible for them to have one copy of the pea comb gene, in which case half the offspring might not inherit it and just get the recessive single comb from both parents

Since they claim it's a first generation cross and they only have Easter eggers (Americana) I'm betting that's what they are using

Would this impact the color of her eggs at all?
