It's funny now you mention it we have chickens. LOL. BUT They're ex-battery hens which lay much bigger and brown eggs. We have never had an egg this size and colour but I guess its posible. I would never of thought that they would lay blue eggs but the size is posible. Hhhmmm?
I was going to mention it but thought it was very very unlikely. Would it be posible for them to lay blue eggs?
Here's what we normally get. 
Unidentified egg

Is there a chance that a Silky bantam or a Polish hen was laying with your ex-battery hens? |

The Araucana chicken/bantam lay blue eggs so it might be worth seeing if anyone locally has any.

I'll have a check. But not sure there's any chickens around here apart from ours.
Could this be the phantom layer?  
Or is it a male?

It looks like a dark hen pheasant. It could well be the phantom egg layer! |

Blizzard | That was my thought.
I've never seen a blue pheasant egg, most that I have come across are a sort of kaki green colour?
