Olive egger- cuckoo marans x Easter egger or ameraucana.

Aracuna Cross it looks

Olive eggers are created with different combinations of different breeds. With muffs and a beard, likely ameraucana parent and feathered legs, black color points towards black copper marans parent.

Agreed

Sorry, just saw he was barred, was not paying attention! Agree with cuckoo marans parent!

I thought olive eggers are like easter eggers in that they could have muffs or beards or the may not.

That is completely possible. I only have bantams, and the ins and outs of amercaunas/olive eggers/ and Easter eggers confuse me if I’m being honest lol

I completely understand. I only have Easter eggers and am not an expert on any other breeds when it comes to their characteristics and egg colors.

You just need one dark egg laying parent, such as a marans or welsummer and one true blue egg layer such as an ameraucana or crested cream leg bar. Easter eggers can be used but you can not be as certain of the results.
This chart has been posted many times on BYC, but it gives a clear explanation:

Wow that’s crazy, thank you. Sorry to hijack the thread op! Your little cockerel is adorable

my original reply is inside the quote,sorry

If you are able to keep him and breed him to other colored egg layers, opens up alot of possibilities for egg color.
