Pink layer X Chocolate layer. What will you get?

Oh. I thought they did since they are still called "Easter Eggers"
I think the hatcheries try to have them all lay blue or green eggs, but they don't entirely succeed. (So the hatcheries usually give a description that mentions other egg colors, to make it look like a deliberate feature, rather than an accidental oops.)
 
Many Pink/Cream eggers are really brown eggers with inhibitors that inhibit further deposits of the brow layer, many are also just lacking many of the polygenic brown egg genes, so if it's a pink layer that has inhibitors then the color will be lighter than the expected average. Also some of those brown egg shell genes are sex linked so crossing brown egg males with pink layers will enhance the brow color(depending if there are inhibitors or not)
