While in SDiego I stayed in Air B&B with Pat Pauly, the teacher, so we ate breakfast at the house and sometimes dinner also. We shopped at the local Von's Grocery where I found these "mixed" eggs.
There were these four left to bring home, but the original dozen were more varied with darker browns and brighter blues with one greenish one. I have purchased colored eggs from local growers, but have never seen them commercially packaged. But I usually just buy brown eggs from Trader Joe's and don't look to see what else is available.
Inside they are like any eggs. These were medium rather than the large I usually buy. The breed of chicken is Ameraucana, which lay eggs in several different colors, but most commonly shades of blue.
The commercial carton.
A full dozen from a local supplier. They are not graded and come with all different sizes.

Great natural colored egg find! They are beautiful.
My son has backyard chickens that lay beautifully colored eggs, but he's in Wisconsin so he can't supply me. When I visited I had some and the yolks are a really rich, deep orange and probably more nutritious than most grocery store eggs.
