What can you feed a chicken so it will lay an egg with a purple shell?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

To get a chicken to lay an egg with a purple shell, you can feed it foods that are high in pigments, such as beets, blueberries, and blackberries. These foods can enhance the color of the eggshell. Additionally, certain breeds of chickens, like the Easter Egger, naturally lay eggs with blue or green shells that can sometimes appear purple.
