hey kaya...I was at the farm co-op yesterday to get some fence post and stopped to look at the chicks...
they have a breed called ameraucana that lays blue eggs...I learned that you can tell what color their eggs will be by the color of teir ear lobes...white ear lobes, white eggs, red ear lobes, brown eggs etc....you learn something new every day...
