Result of EE rooster and Cuckoo maran?

[zhutson789]

What would the result be if a EE rooster and a cuckoo maran had a baby? Would the baby lay olive eggs?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Unlikely but possible. An EE rooster is not guaranteed to carry the blue egg gene.

The result would be highly likely, unless you got yourself a cockerel.

Unlikely.

Thank you. I’ve been around here and there for a few years now. Had chickens for 25 years now!

You would get an Easter Egger Silkie mix. It would lay cream eggs, blue/green eggs or brown eggs, depending on the breeds of the rooster, since EE are not pure breeds.
