Our Prairie Bluebell Egger™ lays a novel blue egg but produces higher quality eggs than a pure Araucana. This breed was created by crossing Araucanas and White Leghorns, this creates a chicken that lays a large quantity of eggs that have blue shells. The Prairie Bluebell Egger™ is an active bird that is very good at foraging. They are lightweight and do not eat as much as larger breeds.
Olive Egger chickens are not a breed, per se, but a cross of two breeds — usually a blue egg layer and a dark brown egg layer. For example, when an Ameraucana hen’s egg is fertilized by a Marans rooster, the resulting chick will be an Olive Egger who will lay olive green eggs. The chick will hatch out of a blue egg, but it will inherit the traits of both parents.
I have no problem culling a rooster. Part of the reason she wanted more was we suspect we have 2 roosters.Your wife sounds like my wife. Somehow we went from a dozen chickens in one coop to a hundred in 3 coops.
Be sure to have a plan if some of those chicks turn out to be roosters. Nothing is more evil then a rooster. He will be fine until the day he turns into the devil, then you have to kill him or get rid of him. He will only get worse every day that he exists.
