Purple Egg?

[rjswain3315]

One of my girls laid their first egg today. It looks purple to me. What breed would lay this color egg?

This is from thefrugalchicken.com:

“No chickens lay colored eggs that are a true purple. Eggs have a protective layer on their outside called the bloom which helps eggs stay fresh and bacteria free. Some hens will lay brown eggs with a heavy bloom that can tint the egg purple. However, when the bloom is washed off, the egg will be brown”

EE would be my guess maybe a blue egg tinted purple.....

So wash the egg and see what color it is !
