there's several kinds of chickens that lay green or bluish eggs, the Easter Egger, the Araucauna, and the Americauna...

she gives us greenish shelled eggs, one every morning, in a pile of hay on top of the rabbit hutches...

here's the scoop on Easter-egg layers:

luckily, I'd already read about this somewhere, so I didn't freak OUT last month when this started, thinking I had some ALIEN chicken !!
