How to make an Easter Egger

[LabMomma]

So, I have a Black Australorp rooster and I am planning to get some Ameraucana hens in the spring. If I cross these two breeds, will the chicks be Easter Eggers?

If the ameraucanas are true for the blue egg gene then yes all offspring would lay green and be easter eggers

EE’s lay blue as well though

Yes if an ameraucana was bred to a white layer they can but to a brown layer blue over brown creats all green laying offspring
