If I have EE hens and a rhode island red rooster. ..what do their offspring make? There are tree 6 week olds mixed in these pics

Your EE parent will have both a blue egg gene and a brown egg gene. What its offspring with a RIR will be depends on which gene your EE parent passes to the offspring. If it passes its blue egg gene to the offspring, then the offspring will also be an EE and if it is a pullet, it will lay green eggs. If your EE parent passes its brown egg gene to the offspring, then the offspring will just be a barnyard mix, and if it is a pullet, it will lay brown eggs.
