BC1 Olive Egger | Pullet

Backcross (BC) Olive Eggers are created by crossing an olive-laying hen back to a Black Copper Marans rooster.

This cross produces hens that have a 50% chance of laying darker olive and a 50% chance of laying brown. If you would prefer lighter, but guaranteed olive, please pick F1 Olive Eggers instead. 

Hens from this cross will be black with some copper in their hackles and they will have lightly feathered shanks, single combs, and approximately half will have a small crest.
