Look what my lil pullet laid this morning! It is her 5th egg. Each one has been a little different but all have some sort of spots. The base color is a 4 on the egg chart (flash may have lightened it up).
Are those dark spots her sprayers trying to work? Might her eggs be the color of the spots one day? Or will she probably always lay a spotted egg? Cuz thats cool too.
Another question....
Hold on while I bust out some new words I learned.
I am trying to figure out the genotype of my marans.
Black copper and blue copper marans are E^R/E^R at the e locus... correct?
And a solid blue (a true solid blue) is E/E?

Gee CR, you're been playing with the genetics calculator !Look what my lil pullet laid this morning! It is her 5th egg. Each one has been a little different but all have some sort of spots. The base color is a 4 on the egg chart (flash may have lightened it up).

The ERs (brown-red/Black Copper) are Birchen based. Still confuses the heck outta me ...The E stand alone gene (extended Black - separate E gene), not Black Copper so R is not separate.
