Our Olive Egger hatching eggs include multi-generational and back-crossed olives (the brown eggs are first generation olive eggers). Our Olive Eggers are created using a few different crosses of breeds including Ameraucana, BBS Marans, Cream Legbar, Silverudds Blue, and Welsummers. These chicks will lay a variety of olive and sage tones, most will be speckled. Our dark, mossy olives are crossed back to a Blue Copper Marans or Welsummer. Please remember that with back crossing, there is always a 50/50 chance that once a pullet starts laying, the egg could be brown. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions on Olive Egger genetics.
