egg color breed

Hello! I have a bit of an obsession... Limited coop room and want to optimize egg colours for the amount of hens I can have. I can add a couple more chicks, any suggestions which breeds? The two last ones I don't yet know if they are hens or roos... Currently have chicks: - sapphire olive...

Hey guys!! My girls started laying and this is the first year for some!! I purchased a couple olive eggers last year. And I think one ended up laying blue eggs. I heard somewhere that the earlobes of your chicken can help dictate what color egg they lay (is this true?) Here is the color...

These 2 tiny black gals are tiny bantams! There is a yellow peeper-ed roo too. I'm unsure of his breed as well. Excuse the muddy coop. We've had non stop rain. Finally got some gravel ordered and for the time being got wood shavings down to dry it up. What are these guys?

Hello! This spring I purchased what I thought were 7 olive eggers, 3 mystic maran, 3 brahma and 2 americuanas. What I've ended up with are 2 black copper marans, 1 of which is a rooster, and 8 french black marans. However, the black copper maran hen is laying a sage colored egg and the french...

(Egg photo includes example of my darkest egg color, one of my Orpingon’s pink egg collection, and a final silkie egg.) So all my girls have started laying and I have a bit of a mystery on my hands. I have a silkie (small creamy white egg), a Houdan (large stark white egg), an Americana (pale...

Hi, we have a young cream legbar hen who’s been laying for a couple of weeks. She came from a local farmyard where there are a few different heritage breeds but separated into different areas so the roos don’t mate across breeds. Our legbar is laying beige eggs :/ We love her and don’t really...

I’ve been trying to research how the genes of the chickens affected the egg color. I know you need brown and blue to to make olive egger etc etc but I’m confused slightly. So if I have a black mottled orpington roo and Easter eggers (she looks like an amerecauna lays blue eggs) and olive eggers...

Hello! I have a handful of grey girls in my coop, they could be a mix of silkie, amaracauna, leghorn, Brahma and some mutts. Just wondering if they’re colorful layers or tan/brown egg layers! Some of them have poofy cheeks and some don’t, not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks for any help!

Hello! I recently bought a mixed flock of birds and one started laying this beautiful tan egg color, placed next to a white for reference! It’s not a typical brown or green egg, just wondered if anyone knew what crosses or breeds would lay this color? It’s my favorite! Thanks for any info...

Hi, I’m sure this is going to be a silly question but I’m going to ask anyway. So, the egg below to me looks yellow and not sure which hen it came from. We have Ayam Cemani, a Leghorn, Lavender Orpington and a Speckled Sussex. Just curious. Thanks

Hi there! I am looking to build a backyard coop this summer in Florida with 3-5 laying hens. They will be pets so I care that they are sweet and calm for my kids, and I am intrigued by funky egg color (would love to have three or four different egg colors from them... at least one blue for...
