How’s it even possible????

So I’ve had the absolute craziest thing happen on my farm. I have purebred show birds. Albany,clarets, hatches, brown reds, pyles…..etc. I’ve raised them from babies and now my pullets are laying. I’m so excited to get my F1’s !!! So I go gather eggs to start incubating and find a huge clutch of BLUE EGGS!!! Now before you say I have EE’s or the other I can promise you I do not!!! So I need some advice and thoughts on how this is happening please!!! I’m about to go crazy trying to find out

Sounds as if one of your strains has DNA from a blue egg laying breed.

This is rare, this is the only thing I can find so far on blue egging Gamefowl.

May I see the birds you have?

Interesting. (The thing about pheasants being bred with gamecocks (unless they are talking about junglefowl which I am pretty sure all have white eggs) is a lot of malarkey though.)
Along with egg color being linked to feather color.
But it is good to know that some strains do lay blue eggs.

Yeah, it's hard to find good information on this subject. But I can try looking for more, though it'll be difficult.

JungleFowl are considered Pheasants, though maybe talking about a Pheasant colored chicken. But things like this aren't very clear.

Those look like duck eggs do you have ducks?

Found this, which supports the asiatic portion of the article.

But can't find anything else further.

Pheasant chicken hybrids are actually pretty common to find in Asia, but don't know tons about them.
Ring Neck Pheasants apparently lay blue, or green eggs.
