If you can only keep 1 rooster but want to maintain the most colorful egg basket possible, this guide walks you through which breed or hybrid to select! Colorful graphics show you what various offspring will lay if each rooster is bred to 8 different laying hens: homozygous blue, heterozygous Easter Egger blue, white, cream, brown, dark chocolate, green and olive. Suggestions on which specific hens to add ensure you are buying the minimum number of pullet chicks and breeding more of your own stunning colored egg layers! You can learn more about the hens needed to craft these cartons in our Rainbow Egg Laying Flock article.
