Three problems,
First, they live on the Yucatan peninsula (and Central/South Am), we'll be on the Baja peninsula (is this even breeding season?)
Second, I don't want to go to a Mexican prison for smuggling turkey eggs
Third, if I were going to smuggle eggs (notice the IF), it would be in my lunch like they were boiled and NOT in my pockets, too obvious

She has been thinking about it.... long and hard apparently
Well, I'm not an expert, but I know that blue shells are dominant to white, but you need the brown to overlay the shell for the olive.Anybody know some egg genetics? I have a question, I have my SBEL and LOVE them, could I use an Olive Egger Roo and get Olive Eggs if crossed with a White Leghorn? I sold 2 of my Am roos and I need to find homes for my WL hens..... My Lavender roo, I want him to work on his Splits and Lav girls and not have too many WL he has more girls than the other roo.
I need to think..... I have several that need to be moved.
what color do leghorns lay? if it's white, then you won't maintain an olive egg, since that requires blue and brown. olive eggs require something along the lines of marans for super dark, a regular brown egg will give more green eggs, but white eggs will just go back to blue eventually.Anybody know some egg genetics?

Quote: My roo has both of the genes, I think. He looks like a BCM roo with a beard and pea comb. The blue is not a problem, just thinking the dark brown might go over too.... I feel SURE I will get a lot more straight combs. My roo only has 1 copy of the pea comb gene and blue egg gene.
