You might get closer to 50% like Alaskan said, brain is fried today... breeding EE's is a crap shoot on colors is all, you might do well though...

I have the prettiest little easter egger that you would swear is pure ameraucana.

I had to read it 5 or 6 times to get it... :/

A green egg from an EE will most likely have one (not two) copies of the Blue Egg Gene. So, any chicks from that EE have a 50% chance of getting that Blue Egg Gene.

The Blue Egg Gene is dominant, any chick that gets it will express it (but of course, no way to know if a rooster got it, except by breeding it)

see, now you make it look like it's a good idea again

Your EE's are in a class all their own, though!

Yup, I saw what was meant and not how it was worded, lol...

The only way to tell anything is to test breed...

"from a farm, down the road", I was told she's pure Ameraucana by the farmer but then she lays green eggs. She's got the cheek muffs.

Daddy would be a large black Orpington rooster.




Just realized i might get a comb with that breeding. NOPE, not here!

Eggs green if they be.

ive seen pure ameraucana lay green eggs. Egg color is subjective to the viewer.
