Hi Folks Just got our first green egg and the kids are over the moon. Though there was a little disappointment at it not being green on the inside as well! ;D Just wondering know you can get blue ones as well. Does anyone know what breed they come from?

Araucana's lay a blue or green egg. Mine are more blue than green but not sure if they lay both. Hope this helps.

Trev,
Are your araucanas your own line? I mean do all the generations lay blue eggs? I know that while some parents lay blue eggs, the progeny do not.
