Father is a silkie. Normal, solid tan eggs. Her mother is a bantam brahma and lays slightly elongated, light brown speckled eggs. Well, most of the time. She has layed different eggs over the past few months that I've had her. Some have dark brown speckles, some have very light milky white speckles that are only visible in the sunlight.

To understand what I mean, here are some of her eggs:

Here's a better example of the diffrent eggs she lays:

All 3 of these are her's.

And before you ask, I only have 1 bantam brahma. The only other layers are 3 silkie hens.

Now this is my silkie/brahma mix. Do you think she'll lay speckled eggs or plain eggs? I know nothing about egg color genetics, so I'd be very happy to learn something new :)
