Olive Eggers are a beautiful breed that originates by putting a blue layer under a dark layer or vice versa creating a rainbow of colors ranging from a slightly darker blue, green, olive, pinkish, and brown. The joy of this breed is waiting for you point of lay pullet to lay and not knowing which color of the rainbow you will receive. Which raises the anticipation of that first egg tremendously. My Olive Eggers and Easter Eggers originated from a beautiful black Ameraucana under my Welsummer and then her offsprings have been placed under my Marans to raise the dark egg color creating a gorgeous green/olive egg that often has specks much like the Welsummer.
