With a Black Copper Marans rooster, you should get black feathered chicks only (although they may have some leakage of other colors as they grow up.) The color-sexing of the faverolles is not going to happen when crossed with Black Copper Marans. Probably yes, but I don't know if it would...

You are saying you won't know if the hen has 2 blue egg genes, unless you track which daughters are hers? Correct. (Unless you get a DNA test to check.) For all the chicks you hatch, if you know the rooster has no blue egg gene, then you know his chicks cannot have 2 blue egg genes (because he...

Yes, you can probably expect 3 olive eggers (pea combs) and 1 brown layer (single comb), if the EE hens have the linkage of blue egg/pea comb. Since many Easter Eggers do get the pea comb/blue egg linkage from Ameraucana ancestors, that is likely what happened with yours. Yes, that will...

OG is a new one to me. What does it mean?

The color of their feathers will not help predict what egg colors they lay. If the EE hens have pea combs, the comb type of the daughters might help predict whether they inherit the blue egg gene. If the EE hens have single combs, then breeding them to a single comb rooster will produce just...

Um, I don't think that is correct. You do not know whether the EE hens are going to produce 50% or 100% chicks with the blue egg gene. But once the first mixed pullets are laying eggs, you know exactly what each one has. She has a not-blue gene from her BCM father. If she lays eggs that are...

They might lay darker or lighter eggs. Depending on their mother's genetics, some of them might lay brown eggs instead of any shade of olive/green/blue. I think there is a good chance that the others will lay eggs of a similar color, but if you are making any plans that require the eggs to be...
