Won't happen. Sorry. They are linked genes.

Actually it can happen, but it would be a long haul getting there.

Examples: Cream Legbars, Blue Isbars, Arkansas Blue Egg Layers. Naming a few.

I see what you mean.

Isbars are a nice looking breed. Egg size looks good also.

Yep it's called crossing over, when closely linked genes happen to split up and cross over to a chromosome.

In central and south america, single comb blue/green layers are extremely common. Including naked necked ones.

Well after keep in putting it off I got a couple of shire if the newest GENN. I think this is the one,I'm about 97% positive on it .

She is Columbian colored. Bare necked and a semi-pea comb ( it is a little bit modified).

Just got to figure out a way to get the green eggs to continue.

I love watching mixed cockerels grow up and develop their plummage colors! They're like feathered party favors!! These boys are getting more and more handsome every day!

Pea Comb is the type of comb that Ameraucans and most Easter Egger have. The three rows with the middle tie a little raised.
