Is there a chicken that lays blue (or another cool colour) eggs?

Answer 1

The Araucana chicken. The breed is known for laying blue, green, and pinkish-brown eggs.

Answer 2

Yes! The Americana chicken lays Blue, Green, or Aqua-ish colored eggs. We have a few, and they will start laying in a few months. That is the only one I know of for sure, but I'm pretty sure that there is more. If you are looking to order some, I went to Hoovershatchery.com, they have a good selection.

Answer 3

Yup- Araucanas, Americauanas, and Easter Egg chickens (these are usually mutts or crosses between Araucanas or Americauanas and other breeds such as Barred Rock or Rhode Island Red).

They can lay eggs of sky blue, green, olive, khaki or any other unusual color (I've seen pink), but the eggs taste identical to "normal" eggs.

True Araucanas are rumpless and have feathered tufts on their heads, and originated in Central or South America (they were found being raised by an indigenous tribe).

Answer 4

Yes, the Americana (also called Auracana) lays blue or greenish eggs, They are sometimes called "Easter Egg Chickens" for this reason. You can read more about them on the McMurray Hatchery site -- this link goes directly to that breed's page:

Many other breeds lay brown or tan eggs. This link goes to the same hatchery but takes you to the "Brown Egg Layers" page which lists a lot of breeds that lay various shades of brown eggs, with some pics.

And this link shows a photo of a mixed batch of eggs ranging from blue to tan to brown:http://happyhens.blogspot.com/2005/05/more-gorgeous-eggs.html

BTW, there is no difference in nutritional value among different-colored eggs. Nutrition is determined by what you feed the chickens.

Answer 5

Yes, also brown, and I think green eggs.
