Is it true?

[EJn]

So in an EE if the rooster had a pea comb is it more than likely to carry the blue egg gene?
What about rose comb...
Someone school me lol.
I'm just learning.
This is my guy and I'd like to hatch out some eggs from our cuckoo Maran or black copper marans..
What color eggs would they lay? Green?

If he has the blue gene and you breed it to a dark egg layer then you get olive eggers. I don't know about combs.

Olive or brown. His daughter's would lay olive or brown, most likely brown since he's a dilution of an blue egger. Pea comb doesn't really mean he carries that gene.

I wonder what he's a dilution with.. he was a rescue from a place where he could barely turn around in a circle because he was kept in such a small pen.
He's not aggressive, gentle with his girls , and looks after them like a hawk..

I don’t think there’s any linkage. Although I’ve never heard of an Easter egger with a rose comb.

I don't know about combs, but I do know when I get EE chicks, I'll only get blue or green eggs from chicks with slate colored legs. Ones with yellow or white legs will lay a "pink" (aka light brown) egg.

As your boy has yellow legs, I wouldn't expect him to carry the gene

It's possible, but the bird shown does not have pea comb.

Right, this is considered a rose comb correct?

Hard to say.
More pics, closer and clearer, would help.

Might be some kind of Yokohama x white Leghorn cross:
