Can we breed these that i would get from you together and still get the same blue egg from their offspring ?
Thanks ,

You can breed them together, but they are a cross so you could get some white eggs in the next cross. I usually breed them back to a blue egg layer like an EE or Ameraucana or Legbar. That way you will keep you production up and keep the egg color too. The Dom White will keep popping up in each generation too. You will get some colors if you cross the an EE or Am or Legbar. If you breed the SBEL you will get fewer colors since they all carry one copy of Dom White.
Genetically the SBEL have 1 Copy of Dom White, 1 Copy of the Pea Comb, and 1 Copy of the Blue Egg gene. So if you breed them together you could get any combo of those genes. If you breed them to a Ameraucanas that has 2 copies of everything will keep those genes going in the next generation. The Ams would pass the Pea Comb and Blue Egg gene on to ALL the chicks. Essentially you have a high production EE with this cross. Lost of EE already have some Leghorn in their background.
