- Have you ever seen a chicken that lays a blue egg or an orange egg? Well, if not, you’re in for a surprise because we’re about to share 11 chicken breeds with you that lay the most beautifully-colored eggs!
We have 9 more gorgeous colored-egg-laying chickens in our article, don't miss it! www.outdoorhappens.com/chicke...
Several chickens lay colored eggs, including Araucanas, Easter Eggers, Ameraucanas, Barred Plymouth Rocks, and Marans. The most common colored eggs are pink-cream, chocolate brown, blue, and green, though endless chicken egg shades exist.

My Blue Andalusian, Alice, is the leader of the pack…and the most intelligent, curious, and hilarious hen I’ve ever met-She is remarkable!
This is like the best voice for voiceovers. I've never owned a chicken and don't know why I'm here.
Hi, welcome to the wonderful world of chickens! 😉
Very cool! Lovely, educational vid!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge through this video. Stay blessed and live happily 😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing this info I always wanted to know explained it very well not so fast my neighbor has chicken & hens those are the best eggs
My legbars lay blue green eegs and waiting anxiously to see any time now the slpash Australorp eggs to come along.
Somebody recently gave me a dozen eggs their chickens laid. Most were some shade of brown but one was green but when I put it in to hard boil with the others it exploded and then smelled really bad. How do you tell if an egg is spoiled before you start cooking it? I'm glad I didn't make scrambled eggs first, as I may not have discovered that one was bad mixed up with the other good ones and could have gotten sick.
You would have known by the smell when you cracked it
I have a chicken that looks like the Americana, but with the fluffy feathers on the side of her face and she's layed dark green and blue eggs, so I'm not sure what kind she is. I thought she was Americana, but after watching this video I'm not so sure.
Americana are just Easter Eggers, mixed breeds that is. Ameracauna is a true breed that lays blue eggs. Most Aracauna are really Easter Eggers (mixed breeds). There is a rumpless Aracauna that is a true breed. An Easter Egger usually has an Ameracauna as one parent which is where the puffy cheeks come from. Cream Legbar, which is a true breed that lays blue eggs, have a little Mohawk as do many Olive Eggers.
Ameracauna and Cream Legbar are true blue layers, meaning if hen and roo are bred, the off spring will also lay blue eggs. Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers are not true blue or green layers bc if bred with same breed roo, offspring will not lay blue or green eggs (they will lay light brown).
Curious where you got the information saying that Ameraucana chickens are friendly and good pets? In my experience and many others I've known they are terrible pets. They can take or leave their humans and are flighty (not as bad as a leg horn but still very much flighty) th y hate being handled or picked up and are not aggressive but certainly not friendly. I would say if some one is looking for friendly, pet type chickens, then look into Rhode Island red hens, buff orphington hens, australrop hens, etc. mostly heavier egg laying breeds. My experience has been that the lighter ones are much more difficult to contain and don't appreciate confinement to a coop and covered run. They are not people birds and are really flighty, always running from you and taking flight at the slightest movement. My reds are more like like dogs, they are also easy to catch and all around just much more pleasant to work with. American Game fowls are fantastic mothers and will sit on eggs (even taking other hens nests) and most are willing to adopt chicks from another hen. Mine and her pullets now aren't friendly (not mean towards me) and are flighty and hate being confined but they are truly amazing to watch when comes to their mothering abilities and fierceness regarding their young! Mine had hatched a second clutch this year and a couple wks in got attacked by a dog pretty seriously. I found her just in time but wasn't sure she would make it. We doctored her and sperated her from her babies so she could heal in peace. We put her babies and her in clear totes with screen lids beside each other so she could still see them and hear them. A couple days later she had escaped her pen to get to her babies (I had been worried she might reject them after the trauma and separation. But boy did that bird amaze me! We had also hatched out about 23 chicks in our incubator that were almost the same age as her own 12. Not only did she take back her Littles, but she also adopted all 23 of the motherless ones. I was absolutely amazed!
Anyways, thanks for the information in the video! Enjoyed listening and learning a little 🌷
Araucanas dont look like that and dont lay neither green nor pink eggs. They lay exclussively blue eggs. Those are Ameraucanas.
Both breeds were in the video and both are blue egg layers.
Don’t all chickens lay colored eggs, or is white and brown not a color these days.
Most of us are used to white and brown, but not the other colors.
Chickens don't lay eggs. Chooks and hens do
