Do 1/2 Arucanas lay fancy eggs?

[pawsplus]

One of my 2 future pullets is 1/2 Arucana. Might she lay the fancy colored eggs?

I dont know! It all on the genes

I have read that this gene is past. I am so hoping that this is true for I might have one of two.

I have one that is an EE and BO cross and she lays a nice light olive green colored egg.

If she has a pea comb she should carry the blue egg gene (meaning blue or green eggs depending on what she's crossed with.)

OK. I'm going to visit them tomorrow (they're at my friend's place until I get back from vacation) and I'll try to get one! I don't care what kind of eggs she lays, really. It would just be fun to have fancy ones. Plus it's way better if I can tell whose are whose. Clarice's were always very like Olivia's and that caused a problem when I assumed it was Clarice (who is 8!) who had stopped laying and not Olivia, who turned out to have egg yolk peritonitis. It's best if I can tell for sure who is laying what!

She is VERY pretty

I agree, if she has a pea comb, she's very likely to lay colored eggs. The gene for colored eggs lies very close on the chromosome to the pea comb gene, making it unlikely that the chromosome would split in such a way as to isolate them from each other (though it CAN happen, it's just very rare).

SHe's going to be super gorgeous when she's fully feathered!
