∙ 15y agoWhat colour a hens egg shell will be is dependant on what breed of chook she is. Orpingtons lay brown eggs, Barred Rocks lay brown eggs, Leghorns lay white eggs. If you are planning on getting chooks and want brown eggs then it would pay to read up on what coloured eggs each breed you are considering lay.

∙ 14y agoThere are several breeds of chickens that lay eggs in colors other than white, but unless you own one of those breeds, the answer appears to be no. The chicken will lay whichever color egg it is zoologically designed to lay, although breeds that have the 'blue egg' gene may lay shades of green depending on diet and other factors. To select a breed that lays eggs the color you desire, please refer to the Related Link below for a complete chart of chicken breeds and the size and color of eggs each lays.

What types of food make a chickens egg different colors?
Depends on the breed of chicken as to what color the egg is.
What can you feed a chicken so it will lay an egg with a purple shell?
What you feed Chickens does not determine the color of the egg. The color of the egg is determined by the variety of the chicken. For instance, while a white leghorn chicken will lay white eggs, a Brahma chicken will lay brown eggs and an Americana chicken will lay eggs that range from blue to green! there has been a recent discovery of a chicken variety that lays purple eggs, but not much information is available about them yet.
What red chicken does brown eggs come from?
No. You cannot tell the color of eggs the chicken will lay by the color of their feathers. I have green egg laying chickens called Araucana's and they are not green chickens. Brown feathered hens lay both white and brown eggs as do white hens. Feather color is not an indicator of egg color, breed determines the color of the egg.
What is the significance of chicken leg color and egg color?
Leg color and egg color are only linked indirectly (by breed) and thus leg color cannot reliably be used as an egg color indicator. E.g. a Rhode Island Red hen (red/brown hen with yellow legs) will lay large brown eggs, but a Red Leghorn hen (also red/brown hen with yellow legs) will lay white eggs. In general, a better indicator of a chicken's egg color is her earlobes. (A chicken 'earlobe' is a round spot of skin just underneath the ear socket. It can be flabby or taut.) A chicken with red earlobes will typically lay brown (darker) eggs, where a chicken with white earlobes will lay white (lighter) eggs. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule. For help identifying a chicken's earlobe, see Related Links, below.
