Could my rooster carry the "blue egg" gene?

I have a Rooster that is Brahma and pure Ameruacana cross. I breed him to my Orpington Hens and get light olive green eggs and a greyish egg from his Daughters.. So he carries the Blue/Green egg gene..
Of course your rooster carries a blue egg gene if his father is a true ameraucana.
True ameraucana carry two blue egg genes so all they can pass on is a blue egg gene.
Same with OPs rooster IF his father is a true ameraucana. I have doubts because of his description. Sounds more like his father was an EE.
You rooster is basically an EE he carries one blue egg gene and one white egg gene he got from his mother.
Suprising all his daughters got a blue egg gene since he has a 50% chance of passing on blue egg gene and 50% chance of not passing on the blue egg gene.
