I would love it if you have the time, could you expand on this? I breed Opal Legbars and constantly have to watch for the recessive white gene. This will be my first foray into brown egg genetics. How would you go about breeding back to brown?Leghorns and welsummer both have white shell genes. Welsummer just has all the brown genes added. You would have to breed to get the dark brown back to where it needs to be.
My other option was lavender Old English Game x Welsummer. From my understanding they’re both e+. The biggest issue here is I can only find them in bantam! What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
