What is your favorite color of eggs?

[SwampPrincessChick]

Turquoise is from one of my EEs. It's not quite blue, & not quite green.

I think we get those, too!

My favorite speckled eggs would probably be the chocolate speckled ones.

I collected these yesterday. Green and speckled

I have a mixed flock so not 100% sure but likely my sapphire gems.

Which chickens laid those eggs? I think we once received an egg that looks

The first was from a Welsummer. Her eggs were usually dark brown, but she'd occasionally lay a lovely mottled one like that.

The second is from my OE. I know you didn't ask about it, but I thought I'd put that info out anyway.

Nice! And LARGE! My goodness!

My BPR lays brown with purple-looking spots.

We (possibly) have Sapphire Gems and are trying to figure out which eggs are theirs so that helps!

Alright, thank you! I've wondered before what Old English eggs look like.

There's no way I could pick just one egg color! I love blue eggs, especially like actual bright, sky blue blue eggs, and I love pinkish or purplish eggs, and dark, chocolate brown eggs, and terracotta eggs, and green or teal eggs, and gray-green eggs, and pretty much any of those colors with speckles... The only ones I don't find as awe-inspiring are your basic brown/tan and white eggs, but even they have their own beauty to them. My girls are perfect artists, and I tell them so every time I collect their eggs.

BPR is Barred Plymouth Rock, right? We have California Grays. I hear those were bred by mixing Plymouth Rock and White Leghorn!
