My Hatching Journey: the Adventures of a Complete Newbie

Yes I apologize their offspring

I wasn't quite sure, as quite a few have asked if the eggs would actually be a different color depending on which rooster fertilized them.

Awesome! I can't wait to start So random question maybe you or another member can answer... a friend of mine & I are having a "debate" she has ameraucana hens and her rooster is a BCM she thinks that if the eggs are fertile they'll be blue with brown specks. Doesn't the hens breed determine the color/appearance of the eggs? I would think the roosters breed has nothing to do with it... but maybe I'm wrong??? Any idea?

The eggs from the Ameraucana will be blue whether fertilized or not (If they are blue now) and any pullet offspring should lay green eggs.

If the blue is really saturated from the mom and the Roo hatched from a really dark egg, the offspring will be Olive Eggers.

If the mom is really an EE, and only has one copy of the blue gene, half of the offspring will lay green and half will lay brown.

Hi K,

Had to run off and cook dinner for DH - he's still getting used to being gone 10 hours a day after not working much in over a year. It's a lot to get used to when you are his age.
