Black To White Experiment

[MysteryChicken]

I recently read an article about egg colors, they can exhibit partial dominance so some colors may actually mix with others, the primary colors that are mixed are back, white, red, blue, and yellow. Most of the time the the red yellow and black are mixed, so dark orange that ends up "brown", but sometimes one or the other can express more, or get mixed with the other colors. This is how we get pink, chocolate, or green eggs. The blue of course is often in the undershell/mixed into the enamel, but the blue enamel could be only mildly present with the brown pigment over the top, so the end result is a mild green that looks beige in lower light, they have charts for predicting egg color from various crosses. I found it fun, was considering breeding an Aracona into my flock to see if I could get the cream dorking eggs to get blue enamel and turn baby blue.

There's only White, Brown, & Blue that exists. I've read something about gray eggs, a separate mutation, not green with thick bloom, but I have no idea what that looks like.
