I bet you are all wondering why I don't know if I have 59 or 60 chicks. Well I had all the chicks out and head dunked into water and watching them. Picked up the shipping box. Moved it a couple times last time to the top of the freezer As I am leaving all of the sudden hear lots of cheeping coming from the box. here in the one section that they (hatchery) didn't pack chicks in and I hadn't opened much is another Deleware roo chick. Notch sure if you "snuck" back in the box or got over there when I was tearing the top apart or not. And once you have released that many chicks. There is no way you are going to count the yellow chicks with blue bingo dauber marks on their heads.

So an ee roo over a light brown/cream egg laying hen should give you a mint or sea foam green egger.

It should, unless the rooster has some dk brown genes. You will know after he lays his first egg!

Your brown layer will have no genes for blue. Your roo will have 1 or 2 genes for blue. If the roo has one blue gene, 50% of chicks will get the blue gene and 50% will have none (be brown layers). Having one gene makes the shell a paler blue. Also, the quality of blue varies. Sometimes it is greenish without the influence of brown genes.
