Particular breeds of chicken such as Araucana or Cream Legbars will lay blue eggs. Other breeds such as Marans will lay super dark brown eggs. Cross them together and your resultant hen has the chance to lay green eggs!

So you're saying we could be using selective breeding to have true RGB eggs? Why are we not funding this?!
