Oops, that’s not a pullet!

That doesn't produce olive eggers. Not even close.

You need a blue egg gene in one parent for that.
I understand that, unless its recessive gene, as that is the only rooster they had on the property and the chicks were brooded with moms enclosed and both laid a light olive colored egg not. I have an Americauna rooster on Rhode Island Red hens and get the blue green shells, but she wasn't hatched outta my flock and do know the people that hatched her out

I can't follow this post well.
Blue eggs are dominant.
 
The only explaination as I know th4e people that hatched them out is a recessive gene in on one of the sides, because the lady I got her from I know the flock and she only has the 1 rooster.

it isn't one that was hatched outta my flock or I'd be trying to figure out where the egg had come from, any pullets that start laying hatched outta my flock are Easter Eggers and lay a blue to blue green egg. and I only have kept one hen that's been hatched in my flock

I don't think you're getting this. Blue eggs are not recessive.

Did you ever see the eggs the chicks' mothers laid? If the mothers layed colored eggs, then so could those chicks. Regardless of father.

not I didn't see their eggs just the moms so must not understand good enough on recessive then, my bad

Google recessive. That takes two copies to express.
The blue egg gene is dominant. Which means colored eggs will result if even only one copy is present.

I repeat, blue eggs are not recessive.

If you cross a blue egg layer with a brown egg layer, you will get 100% green egg layers. Nothing recessive about it.
