egg color question

[abhaya]

I have an EE roo that came from a perdt blue egg. If covers a green egg laying ee will I get auqua eggs?

 

[Illia]

Yes. You may also get some green and blue in there too, but majority will likely be aqua in color.

 

[ChickenWisperer]

It depends. Is he homozygous for the blue egg gene? If so, they should.

But if he is heterozygous, and the hens are heterozygous, then 25% of the chicks will lay brown eggs while 50% will be heterozygous for blue eggs, and 25% will be homozygous for blue eggs.

I say yes
