Olive Egger genetics involve crossing a blue-egg-laying breed with a dark brown-egg-laying breed to produce green eggs, combining the blue shell gene with the brown pigment that colors the shell. First-generation (F1) Olive Eggers reliably lay green eggs, with shades determined by parent stock, while later generations (F2, backcrosses) can yield richer, darker olives but also have a chance of laying brown eggs, as breeding aims to intensify the brown pigment gene alongside the blue shell gene.
My olive eggers are multi generational that I have been working on for years. You truly never know what to expect with them except that they are sure to wow you and add some color to your coop.
