No I am looking for chickens that lay tinted eggs like green and blue, I already have brown layers and one white layer which is my polish hen. we are really dont want white egg layers. Just like the brown eggs better

we are also looking at Murry mcmurry for the chicks and we have a local hatchery but they are not open currently, so we have to wait until they open but if we want to start soon then we will have to purchase some thru a mail order catolog. So any Ideas of who is good to buy thru that have pretty hearty birds?

EE's are mixed breed chickens that lay blue or green eggs. The big hatcheries generally call these Americanas which gets them off the hook with the standard Ameraucanas, which are pure-bred, breed to APA standards. Most, but not all EEs have beards, muffs and slate or green legs.
