Green Eggs and Ham

Remember the Cat in the Hat and his green eggs and ham?  I have a chicken that lays green eggs - well the shell is green - the actually egg looks like any other. Aracana is a poultry breed from South America. They don't look quite like the other chickens - more like a hawk - but they are very sweet and gentle and lay eggs in a variety of colors. Chloe lays a pale blue green shelled egg, but I've had other Aracana that layed light blue or soft pink shelled eggs. The eggs are supposed to be lower in cholesterol than regular eggs, but I've never read any real studies that proved it. Mostly its just fun to collect the multi colored eggs.
