Blue eggs

[Peep Nerd]

Which breeds lay blue eggs besides auracanas? One of my girls laid her first egg yesterday. It's a lovely bluish green and I would like to thank her personally but I can't figure out who it was.
Thanks!

I know that Araucanas, Easter eggers, Cream Legbars, and Colloncas lay blueish eggs.

Add Ameraucana to that list!

Quechua and Olmec also lay blue or blueish eggs.

Isbar chickens lay light green to blue eggs too.

You can post some pictures of your bird on the "what breed or gender" section. You're likely looking for a bird with a pea comb.

edited--I see you posted a pretty Easter egger hen over there already. That's your colored egg layer, her or one like her. Usually pea comb, dark legs (blue or green) and cute puffy cheeks.

What does pea comb mean?
By the way, I got 2 blue eggs today. My 24 newly laying hens laid a total of 20 eggs today. I'm pleased as punch with them!
