I wonder what color eggs I would get if I put an AM rooster over a BO hen that has pinkish beige eggs? Any guesses from the experts?

well, being the artist that I am, I'd say purple.
Purple would be fun, huh???

What you would get is an EE.
eggs can range from pinkish to olive depending on the colors of the parents.

Nope, the birds I bred were pure Blue Ameraucana and pure blue copper marans.
BUTT.....................I hatched out 1 pullet that is MOTTLED (solid black and solid white, NOT a splash at all!) and has tufts, and a tail, not much beard.
The Ameraucana I have are Cree Birds, and I am thinking that they have some araucana popping out here & there.
Who knows??
The Ameraucana was created with the Araucana (all blue egg layers were, even the Cream Legbars) so it can happen.
Get a pic up?

More fart eggs!
French Cuckoo Marans!!!

In the bowl are 2 extra large and paler eggs from the 5 year old hens, and 2 darker fart eggs from the pullets...........

There are 6 pullets I saved, sold 3 to CR and a few to others.
They are mellow fantastic layers.

I am getting so sick of my Del's I wish there was another one to go to!! they are always sitting around complaining and totally non professional, and today I went in and the little gal that has been there for a while was discussing a complaining customer to her manager right in front of God and everyone!! I was trying to get out of there fast and she talked so loud right at the counter the whole time I was there!! I think I'm going to go to the website and find a place to complain my self!! lol!!! I don't know I was always taught you take your issues behind closed doors and never let customers hear you!! The only other feed store is twice as expensive!!! ok there was a point to that but I lost it... I know it's raining there, cause it's raining here too!!....

but I did get the brooder house cleaned before it started again!!

OHHHH ok I ordered the Mareks vaccine from twin city, when I looked on line it didn't really have a description of the vaccine, like how it comes in, so I paid the extra shipping so it would be here fast, no problem it came in today, now I knew it was for 1000 birds, but.... I didn't know it had the dry mix !! I was so mad!! My fault I should have called before I bought it, sometime, vaccines don't have to be mixed and of course last much longer, but I only have 22 chicks to vaccinate and it says it's only good for an hour after mixing!!! guess I'm gonna call one of my vet friends and see if I can do something different. I really paid too much to have it shipped and not last that long!!!

anyway, my new guys are all happy and fun to watch

Watching chicks play makes me smile!! they are just too funny, but, the batch of BO's I hatched, theres a tough little booger in there already trying to get me!!!

That's not gonna fly!!
