So I was wondering if I had a white egg layer rooster (ok so he won't lay the eggs, but you know) and brown egg laying hens, would their offspring lay white or brown eggs? Does anyone know? I really like Brown leghorn roosters but I prefer brown eggs and have all brown or tinted egg layers.
Thanks
 
I could be wrong but I believe the brown egg gene is dominant over the white egg gene, the majority of the hens should lay a brown egg.
I do know that if a "easter egger" is one of the parents the hens will lay a some shade of green.
