What color eggs?

[StarLover21]

If I crossed a Salmon Faverolle roo with a Easter Egger hen, what color eggs would they lay (saying the EE layed blue/green eggs)

If I crossed a EE roo with a SF hen, what color eggs would they lay? Same as above?

Thanks!

Would most likely just be green or brown(mostly ones with single comb). Doesn't matter roo over hen breed. Brown is dominate over blue eggs, that's how you get green (light brown over blue). Blue is dominate over white, just FYI.

You have to breed them to a dark brown egg breed to get olive eggs, or breed to a white egg breed for pale green/blue eggs

Is green dominite over white, too?

Green is a mix of brown and blue

They shouldn't be laying brown eggs, Faverolle lay a White Egg so they should be light Blue or Green if the EE lays a green/Blue egg.

Blue X Blue = Blue
Blue X White (eg, Leghorn) = Blue
Blue X Brown (eg, RIR) = Green
Blue X Dark Brown (eg, Maran) = Olive Brown

Faverolles lay light brown eggs

They lay a tinted egg. It's much paler than a brown egg, like a creamy color. I have one from a hatchery now that lays a brown egg, but her coloring is really wrong and I think she's a mutt. All my others have always laid a pale egg. So, you probably wouldn't see much of a difference in egg color, compared to what the EE was laying or carrying for egg color.

Most Faverolles will lay a tinted egg to dirty white, either why the offspring of the cross should still lay a green/blue egg.
