Best COLORED eggs layers? xD

[chickenbarn-gal]

Now is the time to choose breeds. I want to tell which chicken lays more eggs, and we can only do this by egg color

So could you give me a list of all the chickens that lay good/ different colored eggs? Thanks!

Check out the breeds chart

This is a great place to start and where I based all of my choices from

Black Copper Marans (other types of Marans also lay not quite as dark) for large dark chocolate colored eggs.

EEs will give you colors ranging from blues to greens to creams.

Mix a BCM and an EE and you get an olive egger (olive green eggs).

Orpingtons lay large light brown eggs and are known to lay through winter.

Easter eggers are great blue, green, and pink egg layers! Welsummer and Marans are great dark egg layers! If you mix a dark egg rooster and a easter egger they will lay olive color eggs!

My best is a "Ideal Leghorn" (from Ideal hatchery) crossed with a EE.... she is white with a black dot like a die and lays the biggest bluest eggs on a daily basis. Pretty sky blue. Can't beat her.
