I recently got hatching eggs and the person tossed in some bonuses that are an Andulusian x Isbar cross. Presuming the Isbar is a true green egg layer, what color eggs are The hens likely to lay? Very light green? I'm assuming white, brown, and green are all possibilities. Guessing blue is possible but unlikely?
The Isbar really throws me because they are supposed to breed true for moss green eggs if they are good quality; but if you need both brown and blue genes to get green, how can they breed true for green? The brown would have to resurface constantly, right?
Also, can anyone point me to a good resource that explains egg color genetics, what's dominate/recessive, etc.? then I can stop posting these questions. I found some very basic ones, but they don't really answer my questions completely.
