It can only lay blue or grey eggs sometimes.
Your parents lay Easter eggs late at night.
Yes. A hen can only lay one color of egg in her lifetime, determined by her genetics.However - you will notices as her laying cycle continues, eggs may get progressively lighter, and then will return to darker and richer hue as the laying cycle starts anew. They will still be the same color, but a slightly different shade.You may be confusing pure bred Ameraucanas for Easter Eggers or "Americanas". Ameraucanas have a breed standard and lay only blue eggs. Easter Eggers/Americanas are mutts, and can lay any color egg.
Known as Easter Eggers, Americana and Araucana hens these breeds all lay colored eggs. Various shades of green, green /blue, lavender, rose are possible. The cross breeding of these breeds with other breeds can produce pastels such as Khaki and even gold toned egg shells.
it does not matter the breed the food that the chicken is fed matters ------ ------ That is completely wrong! several breeds of chicken lay colored eggs. the eggs are usually greenish or blue-green. Auracanas, Amerucanas, and cream legbars are all known to lay green or blue eggs. "Easter eggers" are mixed breeds that carry the gene for colored eggs.
Yes there are. There are several breeds of hen that will lay different colored eggs. White and brown eggs are "normal" but a few breeds will give you green, blue, lavender and even gold colored eggs. One popular breed is the Ameraucana chicken. These are also known as the Easter Egger chickens. Easter Eggers are common. Standard Ameraucanas are rarer. This breed is a cross between Araucana chickens and various other breeds including Rhode island reds and leghorn.

An Easter chicken! In the first place, bunnies do not lay eggs.

No. True Araucanas lay blue eggs. Mixed breed easter egger or EE chickens can lay eggs of almost any color. Brown eggs from a "Araucana" suggests mixed breed.
Yes!! I raise Araucana and Standard Ameraucana chickens. While true Araucana do not have a beard they do sport large ear tufts and rumpless tails with yellow skin. Ameraucana breeds have both beards and tufts and white skin and also have a rump (parsons nose), Many Easter Eggers (Ameraucana cross breed) also have one or both characteristics and always have a rump.The Araucana lay blue eggs, the Ameraucana lays blue/green eggs and the Easter Eggers lay various shades of blue /green and other colors.I have provided several good links in Related links
