The Araucana lays blue eggs. Also Cream Legbars and some Easter Eggers. The Easter Eggers can lay green or brown, also. Depends on the bird since they are a mixed breed.

Americanas do. They can lay blue, green and even a light pink.

Our two lay pink. While some of my sisters (out of the same batch of chicks) lay green eggs.
