So after a blue and light brown are crossed to get an easter egger, what do people cross them with next to get other colors?

What exactly is the difference between an Easter Egger and Olive Egger when it comes to breeding and genetics? Both need a blue egg and I see you cross a lighter brown egg for an Easter egger but that still gives green right? So I'm confused what the difference is. Where does pink eggs come...

That's what I was thinking but someone just told me they think he is a mix?

What would you say he is? Thanks!

Makes sense but figured I'd ask just in case. Thanks!

I am hatching out F1 and F2 Olive Eggers using different hens with my welsummer rooster. Since welsummers are autosexing, would any of my chicks be? Thanks! Starlight Egger X Welsummer Easter Egger X Welsummer Olive Egger (welsummer X green easter egger) X Welsummer Olive Egger (unknown mix) X...

Thank Thank you!

Anyone have any info on these specific crosses?

Thank you!

sorry I should have clarified. I would like to breed for egg color. I have a lot of brown layers as well so I am not really interested in hatching those at this time. I am more wondering what I would get out of: Welsummer roo crossed with Olive Eggers (lay shades of green) Welsummer roo crossed...

I have a variety of hens that all lay different color eggs. What would be a good egg color to cross with my welsummer roo? Likely green layers to make different generations/shades of olive eggers? I am new to hatching so any info would be helpful! Thank you!

This is how my Easter Eggers looked when I got them. Mine have welsummer in them.

These are the chicks in question. I believe "Tweety" is obviously a pullet...is it possible for any of others to be pullets even though they have the red in them? "Annabella" is the only one with a red comb and waddles...

So..I have updated info...I believe they will be olive Eggers. EE mom lays light green. Here they are- I will post pictures of the chicks as well. Do you think they may lay speckled green?

I purchased chicks that are a cross between a welsummer rooster and an Easter egger hen. Are they Olive Eggers or Easter Eggers? What color eggs should I expect? Is it possible for the females to have red in them like dad or will the red mean cockerel? I'd love any info, pictures, or insight...
