Jewel Eggers is the name we have chosen to give our own multi-generational crosses for colored egg projects beyond our F1 Olive Eggers. This includes several 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations of backcrosses created using our pure breeds and our F1 Olives.  It also includes a multi-generational Olive project group led by a later generation Olive Egger rooster that has tested heterozygous for the blue egg gene. 

    These will vary in appearance …they may have fluffy beards, feathered legs and/or crests. Their temperament is friendly and sociable. Egg color will vary as well….you could see deep shades of olive, a variety of dark or terra-cotta browns, tan, pale green, teal or blue...some with speckles (always a priority in our breeding!) and/or blooms. Jewel Eggers are for those of us that like surprises when trying to acquire all the shades of the rainbow for our egg basket!

    Remember…as these are crosses, the egg the offspring lay will not be the same color that they hatch from. If you have any questions about or requests for specific crosses, please ask.  For 2025, we will be offering Wheaten Jewel Eggers as well.
