So chickens that lay white and blue eggs have no pigmented coating??? I get it now. My Minorca is a white layer. I can breed her with a blue layer to get blue egg layers

What kind of rooster would I have to breed her with to get blue egg layers

Joey and I are watching a cooking show focusing on eggs.. Joey says I need to create a hen that lays all yolk eggs. Lol

Araucana and Ameraucana breeds lay blue eggs most of the time. Some EE's lay blue eggs. Cream Legbars are advertised as blue egg layers, but some strains of them lay green eggs.

If I were going to try to breed for pullets that lay blue eggs, I would start with hens that laid blue eggs and use a rooster from a white egg breed.
What ever cross you decide to use, try to stay away from white leghorns, they have a glossy coating on their eggs that really dilutes the amount of blue that shows through.

I got three green eggs today! One of them MAY have been from last night, but it's a different shape and slightly different color than the other two. Two are "matte" finish and one is glossier.

awesome ! Take the egg to lows and have them match the color up with your paint/stain..

I'm afraid if I choose a light seafoamy color that it'll look too beachy. I like the color palette of beachy things, but not the beach itself.
