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. Easter eggers can lay eggs colored light green, greenblue, blue, lavender and rose with various shades of any of the above.

The Araucana is a true breed recognized by all breeders clubs. You can see eggs from these chickens by following the link below "see related links"

Another breed, the south American Collonca lays true blue eggs and may be a progenitor of the Araucana.

Legbar hens from Europe were popular in the 1930/1940's. This breed was created from the Barred Rock, Brown Leghorn and Araucana chicken for the novelty of the egg color.
