I have a question about egg color genetics.
Does the roo pass on the egg coloration to his children? Is it the hen who passes the gene on? Or is it a mix of the parents eggs colors.
Like if you breed a brown layer roo to a white layer hen, is the daughters of this mix going to lay white, brown, or a mix like a creme?
I had a Barred Roo (brown layer) that I crossed with an EE (blue layer), and their daughters laid brown eggs.. so I am just very confused.
