The detail
Olive Eggers are a cross, not a breed, made by mating a dark-brown egg layer like a Marans with a blue egg layer like an Ameraucana. Hens lay olive-green eggs, and they are hardy, friendly and popular for a colorful egg basket.
What to weigh
Egg color varies from hen to hen, and Olive Eggers do not breed true. Looks vary too.
