I read in another post that you need to start with a rooster that carries 2 blue egg genes such as a pure Ameraucana rooster and cross with a hen that lays dark brown eggs. Is it true that the rooster needs to be the one carrying the blue egg gene or will it also work by crossing a hen that lays blue eggs with a rooster carrying a dark brown egg gene?
I was thinking about trying this next spring but I want to make sure I have it right before I do.
