Chicken serve a dual purpose: They provide eggs and meat.

Realize that the chickens we get in the grocery store are only around 6-8 weeks old. Chickens don't start laying until they are around 6 months old. So, if you are thinking about cooking up old layers, the meat will be tougher than that from young chickens.

Is there such a thing as green eggs?

The actual contents of the eggs are not green; the green eggs are produced by Araucana hens and Ameraucana hens. Unlike white and brown eggs, the green pigment (color) goes all the way through to the inside of the shell. With brown eggs, when you crack them open, the brown color is only on the outside of the shell. With Araucana eggs, when you crack them open, the green is on the inside of the shell also. You can view green and blue eggs on my bio page.
