Our chicken eggs

I have always wanted to have a rainbow of chicken eggs! We finally do!

It isn’t entirely easy to achieve. I’ve raised chickens off and on for 6 years and I was ALWAYS after blue eggs — but somehow I could never get a single chicken to lay them!

One time I bought a chick labeled, “Ameraucana,” which ended up actually being an Easter Egger that laid brown eggs — buyer beware: Easter Eggers can lay blue, but they can also lay green, pink, or brown — it’s common for hatchery birds to be mislabeled. Another time, the chick that was supposed to lay blue eggs grew up to be a rooster. (Even the blue-laying quail I hatched out last year went into winter never having laid a single egg… we’re still waiting!)

Due to all of the above, I used to joke that I had a “blue egg curse.” But — FINALLY — I now have *three* chickens that lay blue eggs! Two are Easter Eggers (light blue and light blue with white speckles) and one is a Lavender Ameraucana (darker than the EEs, but still baby blue). Plus — we have light green (Easter Egger), pinkish brown with speckles (Rhode Island Red), olive brown (Olive Egger — Lavender Ameraucana / Marans cross), and pinkish white (Silkie)!

There aren’t too many available yet, but we’ll contact you when we have some and it’s your turn. 🙂

We feed the hens certified organic feed. Eggs are hand-collected. Our chickens are quite spoiled, which makes their eggs delicious and nutritious!
