Wh hens Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hello I have found a chicken breeder who is selling a cream legbar cross the normal brown hens, I know they will lay loads of eggs which will be green but does anyone know what they will look like? I have a columbine will it look like her? thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I think there isn’t a guarantee that it actually will lay green eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beantree Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 A cream legbar should lay sky blue eggs, but some will be almost white and some will be green (we've had some). A brown hen will probably lay light brown eggs, so what colour eggs the resulting cross will lay is anyones guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the green colour is a dominant trait, but as long as the cream legbar from the cross isn’t a homozygote, but a heterozygote the offspring can just as well inherit the brown egg colour.
