Purple and pink eggs

[Chickenclaw]

I've seen people on this website who have chickens that lay pink eggs and I was wondering how did they get a pink egg or if it's possible for a hen to lay purple eggs, thanks.

I think there is only one breed i can think of that lays pink eggs? Faverolles, unless im mistaken? Im sorta new to this stuff... Not sure otherwise

I've heard some Australorps and Sussex sometimes lay pink eggs.

Do you know how you create a purple egg? Maybe a blue egg layer x pink egg layer.

No they lay very pale eggs off white / cream.

Sussex sometimes lay pink eggs.

My Sussex eggs sometime do look pale pink when next to the more tan eggs but i don't think they are a truely pink egg.

I have read of a breed that has eggs with a purple sort of bloom on them, but sorry can't remember what they are. I wonder if EE's can ever lay purple ones with a random comblo of brown / blue etc

Usually pink eggs are just cream color eggs with a really heavy bloom on them

Croad langshan? I've never had one or even seen one but I remember reading somewhere that their eggs may have a plum-coloured bloom

Yes you saw that right apparently they do.

If only the langshan could live in hotter climates
