Actually it can happen, but it would be a long haul getting there. Examples: Cream Legbars, Blue Isbars, Arkansas Blue Egg Layers. Naming a few. Yep it's called crossing over, when closely linked genes happen to split up and cross over to a chromosome. In central and south america, single...

Isbars are a nice looking breed. Egg size looks good also.

I looked around to see pricing on isbars. There was a low priced one on ebay but ahem, rooster has a pea comb. cough-it'snotisbar-cough....

Yeah no real way other than getting single comb blue/green eggers. The chances of getting a single comb colored egger out of pea comb stock is extremely low. Unfortunately OE with Marans blood is the best for weight/size gain.. however as far as I can see, a majority are pea combed plus leg...

Congrats on still having green eggers around! I'm going to try setting green eggs from one hen to get some more. Only two green eggers and one blue egger hen in flock, still.

Yes definitely silver pencilled. It's beautiful

Cool. There's a clutch of green eggs under a broody set to hatch next Sunday.

Probably.. the problem was a rooster was bred with two hens in the same pen, one was a brown egg layer and the other a single comb bluish/green layer. The rooster had dominant white on black which made the chicks come out barred or dominant white only. Which makes it hard to tell which chick...

This NN hen lays green eggs! Pretty happy about that, was worried it would just be her non-NN sister(behind her) laying them.

Congrats on the promotion! I am impatiently waiting for my potential colored egger pullets to start laying.. also to help with culling out the tinted eggers, really wanting to reduce this year's crop down to smaller numbers.

Here's a picture... I think he has a similar effect going on as your rooster- on a totally different pattern though. I wonder if being silver also helps with the unusual color effect.. This picture was simply cropped and resized.. no other alternation, the weird effect is all from the camera...

I'm colorblind so I couldn't tell you the difference between cream or straw. :( I do notice he has a light color.. could be side effect of blue- I don't know why the red/browns are lighter on some blues but not on others. I have a rooster here right now that show a similar thing, he is blue...

Yes. The hobby is seriously bad with names... multiple names for the exact same thing or single name applied to totally different things. For example, that very same color is called Black Copper in Marans. The bottom line is crowwing means no duckwing patch. in genetics lingo, ER (birchen)...

First three are crowwing roosters.. the big feathers on the wing are solid color(black in these) Next two are duckwings, the first is a red duckwing, second a silver duckwing. The wing feathers have two colors that combine to make the triangular patch on wing. It can seem...

I'm not sure.. what was his chick down pattern? Birchen is a good guess however it appears he is showing duckwing pattern.. birchens are crowwinged. I'm wondering if he might be a partridge. Their chicks will give some more hints of what they are.

Beautiful! I'd like to see chicks out of this pair.

Mottled ee to buff rock, that is an interesting cross. I got a little excited today, a pullet laid a green egg. It seemed cockerel after cockerel kept as potential colored eggers proved not to be carriers as their daughters started to lay tans and browns... but finally a daughter of...

Yeah that is a problem, especially with the phone camera it seems. yesterday I took some pictures of the little girl that I wondered was mottled.. they looked good on the phone but when I uploaded to the computer, the picture came out with too much contrast..... aggghh.

Congrats on the new job!
