Chickens That Lay Beautiful Colored Eggs
If you're looking for rainbow egg layer chickens in Texas, Pure Grace Hen House specializes in breeds that produce a wide variety of beautiful egg colors.

One of the most exciting parts of raising backyard chickens is collecting eggs in multiple colors. Many chicken keepers enjoy building flocks that produce a rainbow egg basket, which can include eggs in shades of blue, green, brown, and cream.
​
At our farm in Huntington, East Texas, we carefully raise and breed chickens that are known for producing these colorful eggs. Our breeding programs combine pure breeds and specialty crosses to help create birds that lay unique and beautiful eggs.
​
While we are located in Texas, we ship hatching eggs and chicks safely to customers throughout Texas and across the United States.

Blue eggs
