How to complete my rainbow flock??

[Hannahnic14]

Here are my beautiful rainbow eggs!! The ones that laid these are, Olive Egger, Cream Legbar, Black Star, White Leghorn, and my Murray's big red broiler is laying the darker brown egg.

Colored layers not yet laying: French Black copper Marans, EE, and Ameracaunas.

I've heard you can get hens that lay a pinkish shade(salmon faverolle maybe) and a brown speckled egg(welsummer?). What other breeds should I get to complete the rainbow???

Cayuga ducks lay black...but for chickens, you seem to know what to get! I want marans!!! Heres my egg basket for now, waiting for welsummers and OEs to lay.

Welsummer are a great idea! And certain marans lay eggs that are almost red. You should maybe also get a different olive Egger maybe f2 that will lay deeper green eggs

Orpingtons and Wyandottes can lay a pinkish egg. The pink on eggs is from the bloom and can be washed off, but still pretty. Agree a few olive eggers, maybe an F2, that lay the deeper olive would be pretty too.

Some strains of Langhan are known to lay a purplish egg.

Cayuga ducks lay black

I disagree my Cayugas only lay dark gray, light gray and VERY light gray

My turken lays gorgeous rosy brown eggs with purplish specks!

I just looked into it and some austrlops lay a rose brown speckled egg. I think that is why my turken lays that color she is not a pure NN and she has beautiful green tinted black feathers. I would take a picture of the egg but she isn’t laying she’s got a clutch.

I think it would eventually be awesome if you got ahold of two or three roosters and started breeding them to your girls. You'd definitely get more interesting eggs from the daughters! I'm thinking quality bred French Copper Marans, Pure Ameracaunas, and perhaps a Cream Legbar or Welsummer Rooster. That's my plan at least when I get some land

One of my buff orpingtons used to lay pink eggs. She’s a “old lady” now so not laying but used to be a pretty light pink/peach shade, not as brown as her sisters.
