My horse trainer wants to experiment with genetics. She has herself several lovely Brahma boys and she wants to cross them with her blue egg layers (Easter eggers, and a breed something called bluebell?) She’s hoping to get a green egg layer with a docile temperament like the Brahmas. Any ideas on what this cross will make?
 
I bred a light egg layer (rooster) to an ameraucana and the resulting chicks that grew up to be hens lay an egg that usually looks just as blue as the ameraucana eggs. However, in the right light you can definitely see the brown or "olive" pigmentation. It's very light.
