On Easter Eggers

 A little over a week ago I posted some interesting facts about polar bears, zebras and chickens.  It resulted in me receiving a few more interesting comments on 'Easter Eggers', bluebirds and blue jays. 

MaryP said the Easter Egger chicken variety lays pink blue and green eggs.  Here is more information.  

Then Lorraine said bluebirds and blue jays aren't actually blue they are brown but appear blue because of the way the light interacts with their feathers.

Have you heard of the Easter Egger variety of chickens?

I raised many Aracauna/American Aracauna and/or Easter Egger chickens. Loved their beautiful colored eggs. Most were green but some were pink and blue. I miss having chickens so much and hope to get some again soon. I miss my goats too.

I had read that fun fact about Blue Birds and Blue Jays recently; so very cool what light and our brains can see.

My gosh, I've learned something news. I saw the cartoon with a decorated egg coming out of a chicken, but I thought eggs were just white, brown, or stamped with that "Eggland's Best" logo. Green, pink and blue eggs?! I want to meet these chickens! How do they do that? Such diversity! Linda in Kansas

I think Martha Stewart has those chickens that lay blue and green eggs. They sure are pretty.

Nature provides such variety doesn't it.
