Here at I Love Poultry we love the variety of colours that hens can produce. There is nothing more exciting than going to collect the eggs and picking a chocolate one, an olive one, a blue one and a white one! But which hens lay the cool colour eggs?
EASTER EGGERS: These are chickens that lay a variety of green colour eggs and tend to carry the blue egg laying gene. Examples of easter eggers are crested cream legbars and araucaunas. Both of which we have here at I Love Poultry. Click here to buy eggs now.
OLIVE EGGERS: To create a beautiful olive egg an easter egger is generally crossed with a dark brown laying cockerel such as a maran, this produces the most amazing coloured olive eggs that are a favourite here. We sell Olive hatching eggs and they can be purchased here.
DARK BROWN EGGS: The most common hens to lay the gorgeous dark dark chocolate brown eggs are marans. You can get lots of different colours and the copper marans tend to lay a beautiful deep colour egg. We have wheaton maran hatching eggs available here.
WHITE EGGS: A lot of hens lay gorgeous white eggs including white stars, silver campines and anconas to name a few. We sell all of the above.
