I want colored eggs

[Hopefulloflove]

I am going to be adding to my laying flock this spring. I would love to have some blue, pink and green eggs. What breed of chicken exactly do I need to get? Where should I get them from?

Thanks!

I've never seen pink eggs yet. But these are the eggs I got yesterday, I have EE's.

In my flock are 5 Easter Eggers, 2 are laying so far and I have a dark green and a light blue!!!! So thrilled!

Where did you get your EE's?

My EE's were purchased from our local Agway back in June, who gets them from Ideal. We have 2 and they've been laying light blue and olive-y blue eggs daily. Good luck on your search!

Meyer hatchery in Ohio. I live down the road and can pick up.

I like them b/c you can order as few as three birds.

Most hatcheries sell chicks advertised as Ameraucanas/Americanas/Araucanas etc. and those are Easter Eggers. Most will lay green eggs but sometimes you'll get a blue or a light brown to tinted layer (very pale brown looks pinkish or yellowish). I have a few EEs and they all lay green to blue eggs. My mom's Brahmas lay eggs that are very pale pinkish (one even has purple speckles sometimes). My Speckled Sussex lays eggs that are darned close to the color of the palm of my hand.
