Possibility of breeding for purple/pink bloom

[Liz Birdlover]

I would say that any rooster that lays brown eggs would be best

A Roo that lays eggs???
This I gotta see!!!

(I know you meant a Roo that is a brown egg layer breed...it just made me laugh. Laughing is good )

I have an ISA Brown (I know already a "mixture" and unreliable) that lays beautiful brown eggs with a purple/pink bloom consistently. I was wondering if it was possible to try to incubate and single out the tinted bloom gene? What breed would be best to put with her for that purpose? I'll add pictures but it's incredibly hard to get the total effect on camera. Also every egg pictured is actually a brown egg identical to the ones in the center of the carton but with a thick bloom.

I’ve thought/talked about doing the same! Some Marans lay a thick plum or blueberry looking bloom, and some Langshan lay a pink to plum bloom if that helps!

I have a Copper Maran that has a Mauve or Lavender tint bloom on her eggs. A pretty surprise.View attachment 3026617View attachment 3026614View attachment 3026646

Wow what a beautiful egg! Was it a black copper Marans or Marans mix? I hope you threw that egg in the incubator so it produces more like her!
