Chicken Breeds: Chickens That Lay Blue Eggs (or green!)
Looking for chickens that lay blue eggs?
The chicken breeds on this page lay blue or green colored eggs. What’s more fun than that?! Combine your favorite breeds from this page, the brown layer page and the white layer page for a natural Easter basket!
This list is a work in progress and very much incomplete, but we are adding new breeds every week!
Note: Breeders come up with new colors every year, and many are not recognized by the APA. The colors listed for each breed are often just a few of the many colors available!
One of the most well known blue egg layers is the Ameraucana, which also happens to be one of our personal favorites. You can find out more about Ameraucanas vs Easter Eggers here.
