I have four BBS Ameraucanas, two Barred EEs ( BR x BBS Ameraucana, whose eggs I already collected today), and June who was a gift from a friend when she was a chick. She hatched from an egg that was supposed to be the new Salmon color some are working on, but obviously, she probably came from a blue-wheaten color rooster. The breeder did have Blue Wheatens at the time as well, so I think a rooster jumped the fence. I have no brand new EE layers and usually can recognize each girl's egg shape and color. The shell is paper thin, yes, Olivia. That's why the color is more amazing since those usually are lighter in color, sort of diluted.
There are five out of six blue and green eggs already collected and June is on a nest. If June lays, then that egg had to come from one of the Ameraucanas, either Nora or Gypsy.

Are you sure it wasn't from one of those plastic chickens from Taiwan? I hear they lay a right pretty bright blue egg...
and I did see a picture of one here on BYC in someone's nest box.. hmm.. now where was it??? lol!

Seriously though- it is stunningly beautiful!

Interesting looking egg.... Something just doesn't seem right to me about that egg though....

Maxx, what are you seeing? The shell is very thin, which is why it crunched when I tried to pick it out of the nest and the color is certainly wild. I promise, no trick photography!


****Well, it's not June's. Just got her egg. It does belong to one of the BBS Ameraucanas.

Have you gotten any more of those beautiful eggs, yet?

Gorgeous color! I would be interested to see how this hen's eggs progress.

I have gotten an egg from Nora, her usual pretty blue, but nothing like that one. I think it was just someone's paint factory working overtime! Wish I could get those on a regular basis!
