Ameraucana Question

[amossman]

Hi!

I have an ameraucana rooster mating with some kind of white hen and a RIR hen. Their eggs seem to be somewhat speckled now, is that directly correlated with the rooster, or is this caused by something else?

Thanks!

Something else. Sometimes a hen will have that happen - It can go white speckled or brown speckled or even have little bumps on it. A rooster being around will not affect anything concerning the egg except its fertility.
