I will off them.



I keep going back n forth with wanting to off them all and start over but I really like experiments and I'd really like to see how long they lay and live.

One of mine likes to take long breaks, sometimes up to like 7 months 😂🤣😭 and one of my other ones, before I lost her last spring, was still laying every day and in winter and they’re the same age (5) so I guess it depends. 😂🤣 those are my EE. The youngest hen is only 2 and still laying pretty well. I think my senior Orpington and Australorp have stopped laying for good finally but I’m not entirely sure. Guess we’ll see when it gets to be spring 😂

Um... yes.
Does a male EE carry the gene for colored eggs? If so, how would one go about passing that gene on to a pullet so that she would lay colored eggs? Is it possible?

Both sexes carry egg color genes and both pass them to both sex offspring.
There's two genes for shell color. Blue or non blue (white)
Blue is dominate. So two non blue gives white. Two blue gives blue. One of each gives blue.
Each bird has two genes and passes one to their. If your boy has two blue genes he will pass one on. If he has one blue and one non blue its a 50/50 chance which he will pass.
The brown coating is a different set of genes and there's like 13 different genes that can be involved. Once a bird has those genes its hard to breed those out because there's so many. If your boy has them he will pass some on too so it would be hard to get him to produce pullets that lay blue but not hard to produce pullets that lay green.
