You can buy blue chicken eggs in most supermarkets these days. I'd noticed those and thought why? (and how?) Does it make what would otherwise be white eggs more saleable?

Plenty of blue eggs in nature. Blackbirds lay them, for one example. Domestic fowl are descended from wild pheasant-like ancestors — probably not in a single line — so there’ll be plenty of genetic variation for selective breeding to work with. When you look at the differences in size and plumage between familiar breeds, a blue egg is the least of the surprises.
