I know this may sound like a silly question, but I am wondering if there are any breeds that lay a creamy yellow or off-white colored egg? I have looked and looked... can't find any. I have chooks that lay every other color egg under the rainbow & just thought, wow, next Easter would be really cool if I had a chicken that laid yellow eggs. I have room in my coop for 1-2 more & figured if I'm going to introduce a new bird, I better do it now while my pullets are still young & before they get any older.

The birds that live here at present are 1 ameraucana/EE (green legs, beautiful bird!), 1 RIR/PR, 1 welsummer, 1 white leghorn, and 1 barred rock.

Thanks for any information you guys can share.

chickens only lay eggs in 2 colors: blue and white.

Some chickens "spray paint" the eggies on the way out of the chute. This color is brown.

So any eggs not blue or white have been---in one way or another---been "misted" with brown.


So:
Tinted eggs= white + light spray paint
Brown eggs= white + heavy spray paint
green eggs = blue+spray paint
olive eggs = blue + heavy spray paint
