If he is an EE with a blue gene, hens that lay brown eggs will give you pullets that lay green eggs; hens that lay white eggs will give you pullets that lay blue eggs.

If your EE rooster has a brown coating gene when you breed him to brown egg laying hens, you will get some pullets that green eggs and some pullets that lay brown eggs; if you breed him to a hen that lays white eggs you will get some green eggs and some cream/pale brown eggs.

Just got into with my 14 year old... I feel really lost. He took off... Probably blowing some steam and I'm trying to think calmly and not punish out of anger but calmness in a right mind....

Sorry Linda, doing battle with a teenager is never pleasant. Hopefully you both can blow a little steam then be able to talk about it after you guys are cooled down. Good luck honey

So I may need to keep one around the. I was going to cull but I may just keep him and find out later down the road. I wish I knew how to save your post so I don't have to keep asking. Imma try to save it and see if I can figure out where it saves it too. Thank you.

The color gene science of chickens that you and Jane know so well.

It is really simple. There are two colors of eggs. White and blue.

Brown eggs are white eggs with a brown coating.

Green eggs are blue eggs with a brown coating.

The reason I had to make guesses as to what Red's pullets will lay is because I don't know if he is pure blue gene, or blue & brown genes (green).

So chickens that lay white and blue eggs have no pigmented coating??? I get it now. My Minorca is a white layer. I can breed her with a blue layer to get blue egg layers
