From what I have read the Black Australorps will lay black eggs. They are the same as the other eggs, just the shell is black.

No they don't, they tend to lay light brown eggs occasionally with a plum bloom.

Cemanis do not lay black eggs, they lay cream eggs.

If anyone reads this thread and is curious what DID lay that egg, it was probably either a Cayuga or Black East Indies duck. No chicken breed that I am aware of lays black eggs, but those duck breeds do.

We have alot of quail in our area and they regularly visit our backyard by the chicken coop. I found a quail egg in our nesting area one day. Other birds will try to lay sometimes in the nesting areas.

My chicken really did just lay a black egg today! Should I be worried?

This is very unusual. I have four chickens. Two are suplosed to lay light brown colored eggs and two lay brown. One is a really bad layer and very irregular. But I have never seen this expcept for this post. I did crack it open and have a picture of that
