So I don't really do specific breeds, I have various, with the object of the most colourful egg basket/ The pic below is from my girls. But I only seem to get a green egg, slightly toward the blue. I would love to get some robins egg blue in there. I had some out in BC when I lived there, Americauna Barred Rock cross. And, anyone on here got hatching eggs? I would be interested.

My ameraucana lay a nice blue egg but I'll have to see , they are getting older, must be getting close to 10 now and laying has slowed down some I am hatching all I can to replace them. Maybe someone else will chime in, if not I will sell you some chicks. They are blue, black and splash.

I have one girl that lays a lovely light blue, and two that lay almost a robin's egg teal colour. Unfortunately, the light blue layer is either not laying or hiding her eggs somewhere in the barn, and the other two girls are raising chicks, so no eggs atm. But I'm incubating some eggs of theirs, bred back to blue layer, so in theory I'll have a few eggs next year...I say in theory because so far this year, only 2 out of every 25 birds hatched has been female :/
