What mutt is this chicken? Which two chickens?

[LhickenChicken]

Her mother has one blue gene and one white. So daughter could have gotten either one from her. Of her father is a sexlink and not just a mutt, he likely has brown genes. So she can likely lay either green or brown

thank you. But why green added into the mix? I thought it was white, blue, and brown...

 

[LhickenChicken]

There are no chickens that lay black eggs. It just depends on what her mother lays and what egg color genes her father has that could have passed down to her.

I know. But I thought the black silkie chickens laid black eggs?

Blue gene + brown gene = green egg

I'm not sure what breed daddy is, most likely plymouth rock. At least I think. Mom is prairie bluebell.

He could be a blue sex link (aka a sapphire gem)

No. No chicken lays black eggs. Black silkies lay white/off white just like every other color silkie

Wouldn't those ones have blue though? And not gold?

Blue gene + brown gene = green egg

OH
thank you!
Just saying I'm not exactly looking for breed, I'm kinda looking for mix of breeds, and which color eggs.

She's a Prarie bluebell mix. Which really just is a mutt since Prarie Bluebells are mixes themselves

I’ve seen sapphire gems/blue sex links with leakage, which is weird because the breeds involved in the cross shouldn’t be able to produce offspring with leakage. He does look blue (and barred) though.

Huh, okay. Must have just missed the blue.
