Beautiful eggs! I just hatched some olive eggers from the same breeds, a Lav AM roo over my Black Marans! She has a nice dark egg, too! Can't wait for them to grow out!Once your extra roosters are gone you can take a few of mine.I am sure I will have more Lavander AM roosters than I need but we shall see. I know I have 1 because when I walk in there one makes that warning call. I pray I only have 1 in that group! HA! What would you get if you bred the Lavender to a white chicken or one of your black ones? (Not looking for an answer, Just wanting PapaChaz to want to try it and see.)Or you could take a French BCM rooster and since they come from really dark eggs you could have really dark OE like this.
