National Rainbow Day

Happy National Rainbow Day!

Today we are gonna take a poultry twist on Rainbow Day. I'm going to share some chicken breeds you can add to your flock to have rainbow eggs!

Brown ~ Buff Orpington - Rhode Island Red - Sussex

Dark Brown ~ Maran - Penedesenca

Light Brown ~ Buff Orpington - Silver Lace Wyandotte

Blue ~ Ameraucana - *Easter Egger - Araucana - Cream Legbar - Ice Cream Bar

White ~ Leghorn - Ancona - California White

Green ~ Olive Egger - *Easter Egger

You can even get chickens that lay pink! However, these are by far less common. You will likely have to purchases them from a breeder, instead of just picking some up at your Tractor Supply. Some pink egg breeds are Light Sussex, Barred Rock, Mottle Java, Australorps, Buff Orpington, *Easter Egger.

*Easter Eggers are bred to lay different colors 

What breeds are your favorite egg layers, let us know below!
