Peacomb and blue egg genes are close together on the same chromosome and can be hard to separate. There are, however, birds with upright combs that lay blue eggs, Cream Legbars being one.

Yes, it took a lot of effort to do that and they lost a valuable clue in the proces.Peacomb and blue egg genes are close together on the same chromosome and can be hard to separate. There are, however, birds with upright combs that lay blue eggs, Cream Legbars being one.
Peacomb is a sign for a blue egg layer.
And the roosters don't do anything too.Unless it's on a Cornish or a Buckeye or a Brahma or an Aseel or a Shamo or a Cubalaya or a Sumatra-need I go on?
Ok I know this is a old post but I see some ridiculous answers Amerucana lay a blue egg.Hi, totally new here, and new to raising chickens too. I have a two week old Ameraucana pullet and was wondering if there's any way to tell whether she will end up laying blue or green eggs. Thought I read somewhere that the color of their feet was an indication but am not sure. Mavis has light grey feet. Anyone know? Thanks
No a pea comb is not a sign of a blue egg layer if you want chicken that will lay a blue egg. You need to get that breed that lays a blue egg Easter egger, cream leg bar. Americana etc..Unless it's on a Cornish or a Buckeye or a Brahma or an Aseel or a Shamo or a Cubalaya or a Sumatra-need I go on?
