Blue and/or green chicken eggs come from the Aracuana chicken, which is a breed of chicken from Chile. Araucanas are bred with other breeds to produce the Americauna chicken, or, “Easter egg chicken” due to its colourful eggs. Essentially the blue eggs are the same as the white or brown eggs…just prettier!
