    Are chickens protective of each other? I say yes.

    The little blue egg looks green in this pic. The white egg next to it is store bought for comparison. I have two that lay blue, one that lays light pink, one that lays dark pink (almost rose), one light brown, one very dark brown and one that hasn't started laying real eggs yet (just soft...
