About Olive Eggers
Eggs
Vibrant Olive Green Eggs: Olive Eggers are celebrated for their stunning olive-green eggs, a result of crossing blue-egg and dark brown-egg layers. These unique eggs bring vibrant diversity to any egg basket.
If your goal is the darkest olive eggs possible, multi-generation Olive Eggers (F2, F3, BC1, BC2) are the way to go. But remember genetics can surprise you—sometimes a hen may lay blue or brown eggs instead of olive, even in later generations
