if an ee is born from a green egg can it lay a blue egg?

The peacomb was your first clue. Peacomb is dominant.. and it appears he is probably the only peacombed bird in the flock which means automatically any peacombed offspring are the EE's.

The peacomb gene is also located "really really close" to the O(blue eggshell gene) which means in a cross, the peacombed pullets are far more likely to be the ones laying green or blue eggs. Doesn't work so neatly if the cross was with another peacombed breed(such as brahma) or if the EE roo had just one copy of O/blue eggshell but had two copies of pea comb- all his offspring would be peacombed however only half of his daughters would lay blue or green eggs.

What color eggs do your pure Japanese lay? I'm curious.. have some ideas about the visually blue eggs..

BTW my green/blue egger naked necks mostly lay greenish-blue eggs, a few lay blue.. the few that don't lay blue or green eggs lay tinted eggs. Which I find interesting.. as a lot of people say the blue eggs are over white eggs..?

The original japanese hens lay a tinted egg. They look like a regular japanese egg.

so what are all the colors of the eggs that ee's can lay then if they dont lay blue or green?

Thanks, chickies.

Bock-Bock, if not blue or green, usually their eggs are tinted or light-ish brown. However anything goes as for EE stock, so a few probably lay white or even dark brown.
