Let blue chickens lay blue eggs

[Malymin]

Blue chicken eggs are real! Not laid by blue chickens, but feather color isn't actually linked to whether a chicken lays brown or white eggs in real life, either...

Prior to 1.6, putting eggs in the incubator after unlocking Shane's 8 heart event had a random chance to give you a blue chick instead of a white or brown chick. Since 1.6, white eggs only hatch into white chickens and brown eggs only hatch into brown chickens. I kind of miss the ability to hatch my own blue chickens after adopting my first one from Marnie.

And in the Stardew cameo in Terraria, the blue chicken pet hatches from a blue egg, despite coming from white eggs in-game.

I miss having random blue chickens hatch too :(

Yes! There should be blue eggs for the blue chickens (even though IRL chickens that lay blue eggs don't have blue feathers). Also, there should be a golden goose for the golden egg, instead of it being a chicken. I seriously think that was a missed opportunity. I think the blue egg should be a pale blue, to match (at least somewhat) to the IRL blue eggs.

Pale blue eggs would be gorgeous. Maybe with some speckles?
