What bird lays an all blue egg?
There are two 'purebred' breeds that lay blue eggs. Those are the Araucana and the Ameraucana.Note that the standard for Araucanas differs in Europe from the American standard (they are similar to Ameraucanas of American standard, but have smallish feathery head crests unlike them. They were developed in northern Scotland from Araucanas/'Easter Eggers' stranded there from a merchant ship from South America which grounded on the coast in the 1930s).Cream/Crested Legbars, one the 'Autosexing Breeds', also lay blue eggs.However, EasterEggers (a mutt chicken with a blue egglaying ancestor), can lay blue or green eggs, but do not meet the standards of the Araucana or Ameraucana.
Do white chickens lay a brown egg periodacally?
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)
When will your aracaunas start laying eggs?
Araucana hens are considered a moderately early maturing breed and will often produce their first egg at about 20 to 24 weeks of age. Purebred Araucana hens are rare so the pullets age at first production will vary depending on the gene mix. Eggs from a purebred Araucana will average 55 grams or small and they are not prolific layers.
