Ok, I've got 2 pretty roos. One is an EE that's white/black with a pea comb, beard and ear muffs and green legs. The other is a mix...he looks like he's mixed with a RIR and an EE. He is a pretty red roo with dark greenish/purplish/black tail feathers & wing feathers, yellow legs, a pea comb and a beard and ear muffs. Having a hard time trying to decide between them. Does anyone know if the color of legs will determine if the offspring will lay colored eggs? I've got a bunch of EE hens and love the red mixed roo but don't know if he'll produce off spring that lays green/blue eggs since he has yellow legs? Does this even matter, maybe it's the hen who carries this trait on to her offspring? I don't know how this genetic chicken stuff works! I want to keep the rooster that will pass on the green/egg trait if he is the one responsible for determining this. If it's the hen... then I'll keep the prettiest roo (Big Red!!) Does anyone have any knowledge on this? Thanks
