Silkie chicken

[BirchTreeAcres]

Can anyone tell me if my thinking is correct? ... I haven’t separated my silkies yet they are in with Silkie roo, 2 ameraucana roosters, and an Easter Egger... Those Roos have their own girls... The egg the Silkie laid is white/cream color. I’m thinking because of the color it was not bred with the ameraucana or the ee. Could I be correct? Could it be just bred by Silkie roo. I have seen silkies mate but have not seen the other Roos mate with my Silkie hens.. only seen them mate with their girls.

The roosters do not change the colour of an egg

The only egg color affected by the male breeding is the potential daughter. A hen will lay the same color no matter what color the malesbreed would lay

the shell color of the egg won't indicate who fertilized it, shell color is determined by the hen's genetics not the rooster's sperm
honestly, it could easily be fertilized by any of those roosters there's no way to know until it hatched and started growing up if you want to be absolutely sure you'll need to separate in accordance to what cross/purebred you want and if I recall correctly you have to wait a week or so to be sure the babies you hatch will be what you're looking for

Sperm can be held for around 3-4 weeks before dying off so any hens you want laying pure eggs have to be seperate from unwanted males at least a month before collecting
