Our happy chickens

WELCOME to the Happy Chicken blog

I'm 14, my name is Orren Fox. I have 23 chickens, 4 ducks and 250,000 bees in four hives. I'm really a rookie at all of this, but I thought some what I have learned might be helpful. There is a Fox in the hen house! I also love the Celtics.

Araucanas Lay Blue Eggs

Each breed of chickens lays eggs of a specific color. Eggs may be white, light brown, dark brown, or speckled. But some chickens produce blue eggs. Blue eggs come from chickens that produce a coloring substance inside their bodies called oocyanin. These eggs are blue throughout the shell, inside and outside, and the color can't be rubbed off.
