It depends on what your EEs are laying.
The roo probably came from a brown egg. So if you crossed a blue-laying EE with him, the offspring would lay greenish/olive-colored egg.

Great! I think we might keep him and hatch chicks next spring if one of my girls goes broody. Now lets just hope my EE lay blue eggs.
Egg color genes...
brown x blue = green
brown x green = half green, half brown
brown x brown = brown
brown x white = light brown
brown x blue = green
brown x green = half green, half brown
brown x brown = brown
brown x white = light brown
