Breeding

[Maria Romero]

I have this gray chicken that lays blue eggs. I put 3 of her eggs in my new incubator and they all hatched. This was 2 months ago. 2 of the chicks are roosters and the other im not sure. I was wondering if i cross that rooster and a egg laying breed will the chick lay blue eggs or the same color eggs as the hen?

Depends on the color of eggs the hen lays. If the hen lays dark eggs and the rooster's breed lays blue eggs, the eggs might be an olive color.
If the hen lays white or cream colored eggs, the offspring might end up laying blue eggs.
