What color eggs?

[Franklinridgefarms]

I kept a 1/2 Americauna 1/2 lavender Orpington rooster from a setting last summer. All but two of my hens are brown egg layers. I am wondering if there are any eggs hatched this year if the eggs from resulting pullets will be brown or some weird shade of green?

Is he half pure Ameraucana or Americana/EE? If he is pure, you should get some green eggs. It he is half EE the chance for green eggs gets much lower. I’m sure someone more schooled in genetics can tell you the exact probability.
