When the Chick Daddy and I picked out the breeds of chickens that we wanted, egg color was high on the list of deciding factors. We picked out 2 Americaunas specifically for their blue-green eggs, a Golden Comet and an Australorp for their brown eggs, and a White Leghorn for the standard, large white egg. Well, the surprise was that our White Leghorn turned out to be a Delaware and lays brown eggs! Ok by us! But what wasn't ok, was that we didn't seem to be getting any of the blue eggs that I so wanted.
Until today! Another one of the girls started laying blue eggs, and they are beautiful and large. In fact, our brown egg layers seem to have more colorful eggs as well. Take a look:

Orange, red, green, and blue! I love them and I'm so proud of our girls!
