orpington ameraucana cross ?

[cleigh9579]

I have mixed chicks and was wondering if any one knows what color eggs they may lay. They are buff orpington / ameraucana crosses. Thanks

If they have pea combs, you could expect bluish or greenish eggs.

would be EE's and you could get browmn, green, blue or pink.

That's no fun! There are certainly pea combed breeds that lay brown... I've been lucky with my hatchery EE's, that they all lay blue/green. My pure Ameraucana crosses do too...

I have 6 EE's, all pea comb, and I'm getting 1 taupe, 1 blue, 4 greens in various shades. It's why I wanted them, I like the surprise!! The bird in my avatar lays the big taupe egg.

My Buff Orpington is classic Buff looking but the dad was Americauna. She just started laying—Olive eggs! My roo looks mostly lavender Orpington, I’m not sure what else, I got the eggs from a friend who doesn’t know, but I plan to hatch their eggs next month and see what I get.
