   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.​
