Egg color

[CDennis]

I have seen the standard, brown, dark brown, white and light blue/green. But has anyone have pictures of other colors and the chicken background that laid them? I would love to start collecting chickens that lay unique and colorful eggs.

My Ameraucana eggs are the same color. I love them. I wonder what color you would get it you mixed the two? Dark green maybe?

You would get an Olive egg. I think I am going to try to cross some of mine this spring to get some olive egg layers. I think the eggs are neat.
