Backcross (BC1) Olive Egger | Pullet

These Backcross (BC1) Olive Eggers are created by breeding a F1 Olive Egger hen back to a Black Copper Marans rooster.

This cross produces hens that have a 50% chance of laying olive and a 50% chance of laying brown.

This is the only way to breed for darker olive eggs, but if you don’t want to risk getting brown eggs, go for F1 Olive Eggers instead.
