Uh oh, now I'm in trouble. Everyone knows I MUST have every possible egg color there is. So do I have to fly to Australia and smuggle some back or just find someone to do it for me??????

Thanks Mahonri - I do have some interesting colors. Here's some that people describe as purple or really pink - plus some gray ones and some olive eggs. All the birds that laid these have the same two parents - an EE mom and a BCM dad.

those definantly look like they belong in the purple section of the color wheel.

now where do i get chickens like those in the springtime?

i am highly interested in them.

i like having rainbow cartons. and the health nuts say it is good to eat every color of the rainbow.

I heard that Langshams have brown eggs, with a plum-coloured bloom.

blackdotte - do you find the plum color washes off?

Well sorry to tell you they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, the eggs shown are from the UK.
No I found the plum colour is right through the shell, when broken the inside of the shell is plum.
Most of my Marans have white shells with heavy brown-red pigment, that does wipe off.
