Stupid egg color genetics question

[LoneCowboy]

Do egg color follow the roo or the hen? If I breed my EE roo to my red sexlinks, will they still lay brown eggs or green eggs?

Egg color isn't sex-linked, so chicks get it from both parents.

"Blue and brown egghell genes present simultaneously give a shade of green on the exterior of the egg."

--from Chicken Genes of Common Interest.

So, green and brown will probably give a sort of olive color.​

Thanks, That's a color I don't have, maybe I'll give it a try.
