Re: Blue egg genetics
Yeah, he probably picked up some mutation or something....ug.Killerbunny wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 3:13 pm@WLLady I tried several times with Frank and some green/olive egg ladies. EVery time they quit at the same stage. I guess some type of lethal gene. Anyway DH summed it all up "so it's a crap shoot!"

Re: Blue egg genetics
Easy question....complicated answer. One has to keep in mind that the rooster (the male chick's dad) has nothing to do with the egg colour that the male chick was laid in.
