Who has Olive eggers???

Thank you guys , I’m excited . I have an Easter egger that I’m in love with . Here’s a pic of my Olive egger baby’s color

To my knowledge Olive Eggers are usually chipmunk in color. Where did you get that chick? It’s still adorable no matter the breed.
 
Well I seen Olive egger chicks at a hatchery and there was a line of different types and I seen my babies type in there .
I got them from a neighbor

Cool didn’t know they came in other colors, but I guess it makes sense since they’re a mix of a blue egg color with a dark brown egg color. Mine were chipmunk in color, so maybe yours won’t come out looking like mine, but I’d love to see pics as yours grow! 😍
 
OE will be relative to the mix used to get OE's.

I have an OE that is a Maran / EE mix. It looks like hysop has a mix with CCL. The mix is typically a blue layer crossed with a dark egg layer to make an OE.

Typical breeds used to cross

Marans - dark
Welsummers - dark
EE / Americana - blue , green (also pink and brown)
CCL - blue
Ameraucana - blue
Araucana - blue
Isbar - green
 
All my OE are home bred using Aus Araucana and Legbars with Marans and Welsummers
Colours really do depend on what was used to create the cross
