My question is in the title. I don't think that the breed of a rooster affects the color of the egg, but I wanted to ask. I have some RIRs, buff orps, and black copper marans that should start laying in a few weeks. The roo that will be with them is a BCM. My expectation is that the egg color will be dictated by the breed of the hen, and be totally unaffected by the breed of the roo. Correct?
