Yes they are known as Araucanas/Americanas
The "Easter Egg Chicken", This unusual breed gets its name from the Indian tribe of Chile where they were first discovered. Araucanas lay beautiful colored eggs of blue-green shades from turquoise to deep olive. These natural Easter Eggs will amaze your friends and make a great "show and tell" project for school. Adults are of medium size with pea combs and our breeding stock is selected for their ability to produce colored eggs. They exhibit a wonderful combination of colors and color patterns and 10 or 20 of these birds make an absolutely beautiful laying flock that is extremely hardy and will be the talk of the town. Baby chicks come in all colors, plain and fancy, just like the adults. This is a unique breed and great fun to have when the colored eggs start coming. Our Araucanas are recommended for egg laying color and ability and not for exhibition. You can find out more about them here : http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/product/araucanas_americanas.html

∙ 15y agoThe Americana hen or the "easter egger" is the most prolific green egg layer. These birds are crossed with Araucana hens (blue/green eggs) and other breeds like leghorn and Rhode Island Reds. Araucana are not a naturally prolific laying hen but the other breeds crossed with is to produce Americana are.

∙ 14y agoThere are two pure-breed chickens that lay blue eggs. Some lay green, but the Standard calls for blue only.
These two breeds are the Araucana and Ameraucana.
However, EasterEggers usually lay blue, green, and olive eggs (but can lay ANY color egg). Easter Eggers are MUTTS, not to be confused with either Aruacanas or Ameraucanas, which are real breeds with a standard of perfection. They are crosses between a blue-egg laying bird (araucana, ameraucana) and some other breed; usually egg layers.
The EasterEggers can still lay blue/green eggs because the blue egg gene is dominant over white.
