cool, so then the blue is added really early with blue eggs... I wonder what would happen with a blue egg layer crossed with a langshan would make. (assuming the langshan had been bred for the pink tint) the pink is entirely in the outer layer, and there would be light brown added in there too... but it'd be cool to see what it would make.

Re read the link I posted. There are other pages to it. Notice them on the left. It explains.

I edited an existing chicken calculator and added Sickle tailed, Long tailed, and lobster tailed to it. The results were exciting. I did a real life experiment last year to see which tail types were dominant and which ones were recessive. When I crossed a sickle tailed rooster (RIR) with a long tailed hen (true Leghorn) I got a long tailed chick

I simulated the cross with my newly added genes and the results were the exact same!

The pink tint is just bloom, but it might get passed on?

Brown pigments are a quantitative trait, meaning the darker the eggs of the parent the darker the eggs of he chick. Does that mean green and olive eggs are the same genetically?

ooo I'll go take a look

My Australorp mother with Am father hen lays very pale green eggs, hardly noticeably green. Unimpressive.

yep bloom color is passed on too, marans eggs are that dark from the bloom (I checked into it finally)

Yeeeeaaah sorta.

the first link liljoe shared shows some variations of egg shell color mixing.

the darker green (olive) to lighter green would be based on how dark the brown is that the blue was crossed with. and which chicken was which gender would also play a role in it too.
