Breeding EEs and Sexlink chickens

[aart]

Your spelling is fine.....but good luck finding pure bred Ameraucanas and/or Araucanas.
Your cross nomenclature is incorrect, should be stated Male x Female, then you don't have to add the (rooster) label.

If you want OE's, I strongly suggest you get pure breeds as your main parent stock.
A good blue layer breed and a dark brown layer breeds.
I messed around with Welsummer cock over blue laying EE's, got some nice olives but half the female offspring laid brown.

I’m wanting to know if the roosters would “share” or is there some kind of dividing of the hens?
Would telling which hens eggs are from which rooster be too hard? Keep separate flocks?

You must keep the one cock with the hens you want mated separate from other cocks. They 'share' freely. It can take up to 4 weeks to clear semen out of a hen if an undesired cock mates her.

I know very little about the genetics regarding plumage, combs, etc...
...except that solid feather color over barred feathers makes sexlinked chicks at hatch.
Why I chose the BCM for dark brown coating and solid feather color genes and CCL for blue shell and barring...guaranteed OE and sexlinked chicks.
Tho the sexlink thing only brought disappointment at hatch rather than waiting 6 wks for gender ID....hahaha!!...but good if you want to sell female day old chicks.
Know a little bit about the egg color genes, as that was my only 'breeding' goal.
There are 2 shell genes, white or blue, and a good dozen or so genes for coating color genes.

For creating Black Sex Link Easter Eggers I suggest getting 2 solid colored (black, buff,) true Ameraucana cocks and putting them over Dominique, Cuckoo Marans, Barred Plymouth Rocks or any other barred/cuckoo birds you come across. This cross will yield sex links that will lay olive eggs and varying shades of green. Of course if you can also add other breeds into the flock and create non sex linked F1 Easter Eggers which will lay blue or green eggs.

I have an Araucana rooster (not pure) and red sex link hens. Can you tell me what color eggs I might get from their offspring?

I also just purchased EE’s and some barnevelder hens. What would their offspring produce when cross with an Araucana?

I am new to chickens. Just trying to learn.

With RSL.... green or brown
With barnevelder..... darker green or darker brown
With EEs....... green or brown or less probable blue
