Does the male have any influence over the next generations egg color?

[RollinWithTheStones]

I have two roosters (Bantam Cochin and Silkie). I have 8 birds 1 blue egger, 6 brown eggers and 1 oliver egger (she's supposed to be but has yet to lay yet).

I've been getting nice fertile eggs but was wondering if I hatch the eggs out what color eggs will the chicks have when they grow up?


My chicken roll call is
EE: Blue eggs
EE: Possibly Olive eggs
Cochin (was told was normal size but she's Bantam size): Brown eggs
Sex-Link: Brown Eggs
New Hampshire: Brown Eggs
black australorp: brown eggs
mille fleur d'uccle Bantam: Unknown
Dutch? Bantam: Unknown
Silkie roo
Black Bantam Roo

Yes, the rooster will pass on genes for egg color. I've never had a silkie or a Cochin, so I don't actually know what color eggs they lay. Someone else could give you more specifics, but the rooster definitely plays a role.

According to the breed section of BYC Cochin's and Silkies lay creamy light brown eggs.
