WELCOME to the HappyChickens.com

I'm 18, my name is Orren Fox. I have 32 chickens, 4 ducks and 250,000 bees in 4 hives at home, and 3 at school. I'm really a rookie at all of this, but I thought some what I have learned might be helpful.

If you have any questions about chickens or bees please feel free to contact me at

Araucanas Lay Blue Eggs

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.
