The dad I am 100% sure on. I had 2 with stripes hatch. One hatched from a brown egg and one from a green. I am almost positive this was the brown one but I could be wrong. My brown layers are rirs and golden comets. So could possibly have an EE mom ( Hoover's stock so ameraucana welsummer cross) or a golden comet.
One hen's genetics will produce only roosters, one will be hens, and some, both genders. As far as markings, I don't think that matters. I had a hen named Sparkie. Her mother was Sparkles, a RIR, and her father was Duke, a NHR. She had her mother's feather color and at a glance looked identical to her mother. But her tail was her father's and her face too. Then her half sister by father, Katie, looked like a Red Sex Link, and was built identical to her mother across the shoulders along with the blue eggs. Her mother was a mostly white EE hybrid named Vienna.
It's impossible that it had two single-combed parents because it has a pea comb.
Good to know! Part of the reason I posted here lol
What does the EE mom look like? The chick has an interesting pattern, lol.
I just read it in some article the other day, so I'm not fully familiar with it yet.
It's like people, just instead of the father's chromosomes or whatever they were talking about, it's the mother's/hen's.
Interesting, I'll look it up!I just read it in some article the other day, so I'm not fully familiar with it yet.
I do know I was breeding this one hen, with a different rooster each time, and I kept getting a son out of her, when I wanted a daughter.
I agree, the mom has to be an EE.
So I'm not positive which EEs eggs made it lol. We had 2 green eggs hatch and one died. But it was one of these:
