silkie ameraucana mix egg color

[Abby125]

If I breed my silky roo and ameraucana hen what color eggs would the babies make?

What color eggs does the hen lay?
If she is pure, the offspring should lay blue.

Well she isn’t laying yet but will in spring I probably should have said that she was a pullet

My silkies lay a light cream colored egg so if crossed with mine I'd get a blueish green egg.
That's assuming your ameraucana is a true Ameraucana and carries two genes for blue eggs.

Well I think she is but I got her from tsc so I don’t know for sure

She’s an Easter Egger.
I have a Silkie x Easter Egger pullet and she lays tinted eggs.

got any pics? tsc are notorious for mislabeling and/or listing the bird as an completely incorrect breed. before looking at pics id say you probably have an araucana or an EE but most likely EE

TSC is supplied by a hatchery that doesn't have true Ameraucanas. They have Easter Eggers.

Sorry Not a great pic

Agree with above, she's probably an EE. Does she have green legs?
In any event; as an EE she probably has genes for blue and possibly brown. Mated to a white gene roo, her offspring could lay any.

ETA; I Should clarify. I think the white gene dilutes other colors, so she could lay an off white, a light brown, or a lighter version of whatever her mother will lay.
