Hi all!
I would like someone to dumb down olive Egger genetics to me and help me understand my current situation.
I purchased olive egger chicks this spring and have been soooo eagerly awaiting my green eggs. My understanding when I purchased was that they are f2 - as they’re offspring of two olive egger parents. I’ve looked at pictures and charts and my understanding is there is a 25% chance of getting a brown egg.
Of my 5 pullets, everyone is laying a brown egg. My question is - did I just get incredibly unlucky or was I played?
