Just wondering how many breeds eggers lay the eggs in blue color, and if any chicken lays the eggs in black color?
 
Cream Legbar, Ameracanus are the only 2 I know of by name. There is another one that is rumpless, but I cannot think of the name. I have never heard of black eggs.
* Easter Eggers could lay blue eggs too.
 
Araucanas lay blue eggs too. It’s a common myth the Ayam Cemani lays a black egg, it doesn’t, nor does any chicken
 
Are you asking about the color for a Black Copper Marans? They should lay a very dark chocolate brown egg. Some from hatcheries don't. Mine is from Meyer and she lays a lovely dark egg.

There is a duck breed called the Cayuga and some of them lay dark grey/black eggs. Those will get lighter and lighter as the laying season goes on. But many Cayuga also just lay white eggs.
