I am looking for hens that will lay Blue Eggs in Nor Cal

why are people so obsessed with egg shell color?

Just preference and aesthetic. Same reason we love ornamental birds.
Also in a mixed flock, you get to know which hens laid what egg based on the color if you have different color laying breeds.

Some people like being able to know exactly what bird lays what egg in their flock and some people enjoy having a rainbow egg basket every day

Probably bc white is all you can get at the grocery store. Oh and brown if you want to pay extra. Blue and pink and cream are beautiful, interesting, unique and special.

people obsess about chicken egg shell color...yet turkey eggs are way better than chicken eggs...

In your opinion. Some prefer duck or quail eggs, I've heard.

Not everyone has the space or want to raise turkeys just for eggs. Some would rather have regular chicken eggs

@O1Familyfarm, have you looked in your state thread to see if anyone nearby would be up for splitting an order of hatchery birds?
