If I put a Splash Marans rooster with Easter Egger hens, what color will the resulting pullets from breeding lay? Also, any clue what they would look like? I'm trying to get unusual looking olive eggers.
 
According to my local Marans breeder, the rooster affects your egg color greatly, so olive eggs would be perfectly reasonable from green-laying easter eggers and a good dark-laying Marans. What do your EEs look like? They seem to be really variable in appearance, since they're mostly mixes. The genetics of your EEs would make a big difference in what your resulting pullets would look like.
