Question

I,ve got two chickens they are bantams, one lays a light brown egg and the other is laying a blue egg, I'm not sure which is laying what colour yet.

Answer 1

If you have the breed of chicken that is suppose to lay blue eggs, then yes.

Some breeds of chickens even lay other "easter colors", very rare and usual!

Answer 2

one of your chickens is an Aracauna, that's a breed that lays colored eggs, usually blue, green or pink

Answer 3

hmm..i used to raise bantams...i never seen a blue egg..i raised them over 3 years...i also fed them oyster shells which help keep the egg shells hard..gives them grit...maybe it was raped by a smurf...lol...iwould check with a vet in case it has something the other chickens could get...isolate it right now...
