Why are Chicken Eggs Different Colors?

Breed and genetics is what determines eggshell color. All eggs start out as white, but chickens that lay colored eggs deposit pigment onto the egg during ovulation. The color and intensity of the pigment is due to the traits they inherit from the parent stock. Crossing different breeds can result in the offspring producing new, desirable, or unexpected shades.
