Barnyard Mix Mystery

[eandrews]

I had some eggs shipped knowing they could be mixed from a hot list of breeds. My question is… If a chick hatched from a blue egg, and was a possible mix with a Brahma, what are the chances the chick would also be a blue egg layer if it’s a hen?

It's more likely that the cross would lay a shade of green, with a slight chance of it laying brown.

My newest buddy is a week old today. I guess the same question is posed but with a Cochin mix?

Sorry, I’m trying to show the pattern on its wings.

Please keep the chicks off your table and away from you while eating. Chickens can carry salmonella.

Any blue x brown with give you either green or brown eggs.
