I have cinnamon queens [brown egg], Araucanas (green eggs), Prairie bluebell (light blue eggs) hens. My roo is a Black copper Maran. I know the chicks will be barnyard mix chickens but I am curious what color their eggs may be? Any predictions? what is considered a Easter egger? Let me know your predictions!
 
The BCM roo over a blue layer will create an oliver egger. The BCM roo over a green layer will also create an olive egger, but likely a deeper green or green-brown egg ☺️
 
The cinnamon queens offspring will lay a shade of brown, darker than the mothers if the BCM rooster carries good genetics.
If the Araucana are pure the offspring will lay a shade of green, shade depending on the roosters genetics. If not pure for the blue gene (two copies) you will also get shades of brown.
The prairie bluebell are crosses so the offspring of these will lay a shade of green or a shade of brown. Again the shade or darkness of the eggs will come down to if the rooster has the genes for dark eggs or not
