What type of chickens give you certain colored eggs?

[SilkieChickenLover336]

I just wanted to make a list of chickens that have pretty colored eggs opposed from the standard white and light brown. What type of chickens lay "Easter" type eggs such as blue, green, pink, speckled, olive, and dark chocolate brown?

welsummer: terra cotta
aracauna/ameracauna: blue-ish green
whiting true blue: blue
most chickens with red earlobes: brown
most chickens with white earlobes: white
olive eggers: olive

I use hatchery websites like My Pet Chicken since they categorize their breeds by egg color. There's also this Egg Color Chart on BYC. There's another handy chart but I need to refind it first.

If you go to mypetchicken.com under day old chicks on the left side, they break them down by egg color. I'm sure it's not all-inclusive but it is a good place to start your search.

Easter Eggers (Commonly mislabeled as Americana by hatcheries, true Ameraucanas or Araucanas are rare) lay green, blue, or pink, or occasionally plain brown.
True Ameraucanas or Araucanas lay blue eggs.
Olive Eggers will lay, well, olive eggs.
Black Copper Marans (BCM) lay dark brown.
Hope this helps!

Here's a sample of this week's offerings with regular brown eggs for comparison. The pink egg in the middle is from a Barred Rock (watched her lay it and several other identical eggs), and the lighter pink-brown in the bottom row is from one of the Easter Eggers, and of course the green egg is from another Easter Egger. The remaining eggs are from Speckled Sussex, Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, another Barred Rock.
