So, my , um , OE laid her first egg a few days ago. When I found it I was kind of thinking that one of the EE had laid a small egg. She's supposed to be f3. Le sigh. She's so pretty, one of my favorite colors. I guess I'll have to wait a fews more months to see if my second OE lays an olive egg. LOL!

Hmmm. I was just wondering if maybe CCLs aren't great for OEs because the Leghorn genes supress brown?
Blue egg shell color is dominant so the EE has no blue. No blue will come from a Dominique so the egg shell will be white. There is no way to get back to blue excep by adding a blue egg shell breed that has the blue egg shell gene.I have an olive egger hen and a Dominique roo. What is the chance her offspring would lay a colored egg and would it be olive or another color?
I also have an EE that lays a light brown egg...could her offspring lay a colored egg with the same rooster?
Where can I learn more about egg colors?

Any poultry genetics book should have egg shell color and brown coating information in it.
