Salmon Faverolles Rooster pink egg layer breeding question

[Shellybob]

Can I get pink egg layers somehow if I only have a Salmon Favorolles Rooster and brown, blue and olive egg layers?

That is a hard egg color to get!

You might have some luck with EEs

You might. Don't expect many though.

A lot is gonna depend on what you consider "pink".
I've saw a lot of pink eggs that it didn't matter how I tilted my head or squinted they still looked brown to me.

Me too.

I’ll think real pink then

Pink is brown with a heavy bloom. I get some from one of my project Orpingtons.

Darker brown eggs with a heavier bloom appears to look purple. These are called plum.

So the goal is to breed birds that produce a heavier bloom for another color.

I'll get pictures with freshly laid eggs later to share with you. The ones in the refrigerator don't help once they start warming up.
