Very very nice! I may need to look for a Welsummer or Maran rooster

How do I get pink eggs?

There is just something so soothing about a basketful of colored chicken eggs.

pink eggs. Luck of the draw? I have a LF Brahma that lays "pinkish" eggs. Jumbo size too!

Salmon Faverolles lay pinkish and cream colored eggs.

Light brown egg layers and layers with the extra bloom (same as to how you get purple) are the ticket.

Sussex, Jersey Giants, Faverolles, Shamos lay a consistent pink.

Some Wyandottes and Brahmas do, but not all. They're more of just a light brown to brown color.

Here's a plum-purple. It is a Marans egg, but with an extra coating over it. I've gotten solid lilac-purple, variable plum-purple, and slate gray before.

Against all my other colors. (I'm just missing 3 colors now to complete the collection - gray, olive, and really dark olive)
