ee eggs?

[hinkjc]

The color of egg an offspring lays from a pair is very dependent on what color egg the father hatched out of. If he was hatched from a blue egg, he will contribute the blue egg gene to his daughter and she would lay a green egg (if hatched from a brown egg laying mother). It doesn't matter is he's pure Ameraucana or not, as many Ameraucana have faulty green eggs. If he hatched out of a green egg, he could contribute a blue or brown eggs gene to his offspring. Matched to a brown laying hen, could produce either green or brown egg laying daughters.

Yes , its possible or even probable . If by Americana you mean Ameraucana , he should be pure for the blue egg gene [ they're not always even if they come from the best lines ] . That's also not to say Ameraucanas that are pure for blue eggs don't also carry a gene for adding brown to the blue egg , which makes the eggs green . However , the point is that any pullet coming from a roo that has two copies [ pure ] for blue eggs will get one copy and lay either blue or green ; with a brown layer in the ancestory it will almost surely be green .

so it will if you have a pure Ameraucana or a ee with the blue egg gene
