Official BYC Poll: How Many Different Egg Colors Are You Getting (or plan to be getting) From Your Flock This Year?

[MSO]

I’m getting frosty blue, turquoise, olive, cream, peach, off-white, purpley-brown, pink, orange-brown, terracotta, speckled orange-brown; then quail eggs I’m getting a chocolatey color, the classic tan, then some with blue/green tints (The insides of these ones are blue.)

What breed gives you blue inside?

 

[Obsessed With Silkies]

I have sex links, cuckoo maran, Orpington, Orpington/RhodeIsland red mixes, Isa Brown, wyandottes, and silkies. You can say two colors because of the brown from my good layers and white from my silkies, but each brown egg is a different shade of brown. One day I want all different colored eggs.

Species? Coturnix.

I have Barred Rocks, Copper Marans, Easter Eggers, and one Rhode Island Red. The funny thing to me is that one of my Marans lays eggs almost identical to the RIR.

a blue egg is blue all the way through. It's often bluer on the inside than the outside, because the bloom that is overlaid modifies the colour. (So any breed laying a blue egg will give blue inside.)

I have blue azures, blue eggs, cornish rock crosses, light and darker brown, and speckled brown, barn yard mixes, off white, and speckled, and currently have chick Norian, and white leg horns, hopefully will get dark chocolate from the Norians and white from the leg horns.

My blue are broken then , they are blue on the outside, yellow yoke, and clear white on the inside

Are you peeling back the inner membrane of the egg to see this? Because that inner membrane will make it look white on the inside regardless of the color of the shell. Yours look like a pale blue in that picture so they likely will be pale on the inside as well.
