O.K, here's a serious hatching question (if you can imagine such a thing in this house) for our esteemed hostess:
What do you suppose would happen, in terms of egg color, if I put a BCM rooster over a RSL hen who lays a darker egg than the rest of her coop mates? Considering the chicks would be 2nd generation, I'm wondering.

Fortunately, the hen in mind lays the roundest egg of the bunch, so while I'm at it I'm gonna test the theory put forth in either AmyLynne's thread or Sc's a few months ago (by whom I don't recall) that claims the rounder eggs produce more hens. Should be interesting, to say the least.
#1: I'm guessing that the bird produced from that egg would either lay a very dark egg, or no egg at all.

#2: Now, if you're serious about doing the egg shape selection for gender, and you can isolate all of the eggs from this specific hen, your best bet would be to line them all up, and choose the eggs from her group that have the roundest shape. In theory, a hen will release a male ova one day, and a female ova the next day. (Not saying that she will always alternate, but... statistically speaking, that's the likely scenario.) We all know that some hens have a specific egg shape. My leghorns lay very pointed eggs. So when I did the gender selection, I chose the least pointy eggs from the leghorns. Tried to identify a hen's eggs by color, shape, then chose the roundest of that hen's eggs. Went from 40% pullet hatch to 60% pullet hatch.
