I was wondering if there were any breeds of chicken that lay large size eggs in blue, green, or pink. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I'm new to the site.

Sapphires are an F1 cross of white leghorn hens and a Cream Legbar Rooster. They get the egg size and laying frequency from their mothers and lay a light blue egg because of their father. The ones I had laid a large to extra large blue egg.

They are a hybrid and will not breed true but the F1 Sapphires are easy to make.
 
Thanks for the information, I will make sure to look into those breeds of chicken.
 
The problem with Easter Eggers and hybrids like Sapphires is that there is a lot of variation. You may get one or two that lay really big eggs, or you may end up with some that lay small eggs.
There are some lines of Turkens/Naked Necks that are known for their large green eggs. Tracking down those breeders may be a challenge though.
