What are blue eggs? Blue eggs are chicken eggs that have a light shade of blue on the shell.

Why so many different colors? Meet The Hens of True Blues These eggs come from girls just as unique as the eggs they lay! Most of our blue eggs come from Azur hens, an heirloom breed of hens with signature white feathers who love the outdoors.
Though they look different than our brown-feathered ladies, these girls are tended with the same love, care, and outdoor access on rotated pastures. Blue Eggs There are three breeds that lay blue eggs: Ameraucanas, Araucanas and Cream Legbars. The blue color is created by oocyanin, which is applied early in the laying process.
The blue pigment goes right through the shell, unlike the brown pigment. So blue eggs are blue inside and out. Green Eggs Green egg-layers, such as Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers, are created by cross breeding a blue.
