Egg Color Chart - Find Out What Egg Color Your Breed Lays

Excellent review and chart of egg colors. Thanks a lot for that. I do like to have different kind of chickens that lay different color eggs that way it’s a clue to which chickens are laying.
My favorite chickens have been: the Easter egger so little and gentle and a little skittish, but reliable and layed eggs up to year seven when a hawk got her unfortunately. Buff Orpingtons are a favorite because they are very people friendly and likely to be broody and they make good moms. Rhode Island Reds are tough and durable and reliable big egg layers. The Brahmas are beautifu and they lay beautiful, large brown eggs, but frankly they’re not as a reliable producer as some of the other breed - and no doubt they eat a lot more since they are so big and beefy. But my Brahma rooster is a sweetheart nice toward humans and takes care of business fertilizing many eggs. Which the Buff Orpington sat on and reared the chicks. In fact three of the eggs were a combination Brahma and Easter Egger turned out to be beautiful roosters, which people gladly adopted. My little white leg horn is reliable producer of a medium to large size white egg. She and the Rhode Island Red think they are the bosses. And I haven’t had experience with some of the other breeds. Thanks for the egg color info.
I loved looking at all the different colored eggs!
Appreciate you taking time to make this chart
Thanks for the pics!
My young girls (5 different breeds) are just starting to lay, and this is helpful for narrowing down who might be laying what.
Great article! I like how there are pictures. It help visualize them.

I’m excited for my small little flock of 3 EE to start laying so I can see what colours their eggs will be. But this list is great so when we eventually are able to expand our flock we can plan for a variety of colours. Thanks for the list!
Great article! Brown egg layers here.
