I hear there are hens that lay pink eggs ?
#5
The hens which lay the colored eggs are Aracana/Americauna hens. They are more famous for laying blue and green eggs. Their "pink" eggs are more of a light brown than a true pink, IMHO. They are a good backyard hen, they are friendly, interesting to look at and are pretty good at laying eggs. Some of them have "beards" some have "ear muffs" and some have both. A true Araucana chicken doesn't have a tail and looks pretty strange. The hens can come in all different colors and color patterns, too, so your flock is fun to watch and it is easy to tell the hens apart - which is an important thing if you are keeping them for pets and giving them names.
