I bred a Red rooster with a Buff Orpington. The Reds lay large brown eggs, and the BO's lay smaller cream eggs. The two F1 hens lay eggs the same size as the BO mother (one cream and one light brown).
My question is this: Will I get large eggs if I cross an F1 rooster with another Red? That should make them genetically 75% Red, and 25% BO, so I'm guessing most would be large eggs, probably brown, light brown and cream.
