If you want to help prevent getting the drabby colored brown/green eggs, it would help to cross with white egg layers such as white leg horns. The only possible problems here is if they where to lay too fast, potentially lowering the darkness of the blue egg. Unless of course the green egg color is not passed on, it is donminant, but if the offspring do not recieve the gene that could happen. But then if you have easter eggers which already have the brown egg color mixed in with them, you should end up with brown egg layers at the least. I am not sure how many genes controll the blue egg color, I think I will have to do some more reasearch on this.
So you guys talk about crossing ameraucanas, are they real ameraucanas, or are you really breeding the chickens from the hatchery?
