only if it does not harm the animal in any way meaning phisically. also if coloring the egg makes the mother or "reletive" abandon it you should not color the egg.
white like chicken eggs
White and Brown.

earlobe color determines the color of eggs if they are red then the eggs will be brown
you can't tell the color of eggs by the color of a chicken's tail. with the exception of auracanas and americaunas (they lay green-blue eggs) you tell by the color of a chicken's earlobe. if it is white it lays white eggs...if it is red it lays a shade of brown eggs.
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.
Most chicken eggs are white, but many people prefer brown chicken eggs. I look forward to the day I see green or blue-colored chicken eggs. They would be very popular with me.
Large, pale white---and they are larger than chicken eggs and have thick shells
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.
Yes they are. In fact, there is no nutritional difference between brown eggs, white eggs or even green/blue eggs. The color of the shell is put on the eggshell well after the inside of the egg is formed in the chicken and makes no difference. Brown eggs are favored by restaurants and institutions based only on the fact bits of shell dropped into a recipe are easier to find and removed. Taste can sometimes differ between eggs of any color based 84 only on the feed that was given to the chicken but it is usually subtle. Fresh farm eggs of any color are always much tastier than those bought in a grocery store.
yes chickens can lay blue, green, red even purple eggs
The feather color of a chicken does not affect the color of the eggs she lays. It is the breed of the hen that determines the egg color. A chicken that lays white eggs does not drop a brown egg every now and then either, a white egg layer will always lay white eggs. I have several white Araucana hens who lay Lavender colored eggs and a Black Cochin hen who lays light brown eggs (not black eggs)
