I’ve been trying to research how the genes of the chickens affected the egg color. I know you need brown and blue to to make olive egger etc etc but I’m confused slightly. So if I have a black mottled orpington roo and Easter eggers (she looks like an amerecauna lays blue eggs) and olive eggers ( crested cream legbar welbar cross lays dark green) what would the outcome be of those? Does it matter what rooster pairs with which hen like does the rooster have to come from blue laying genes and the hen brown to make olive egger or does it not matter which of the two has the genes? I’m also trying to find color charts as far as if I have black and blue Silkie pullets and have a paint rooster what could come of. I’ve seen a few charts but not all the color variations.
