blackgold Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 My 3 exbatts are laying 2 eggs a day. today i got a really pale egg. Not white but very different from previous eggs. Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruth1 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I get that every so often from my girls the Eggs are often a different shade, I dont think its much to worry about, im sure eggs are meant to get paler as a chicken ages. I also have had a really pale egg after worming but it soon went back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The colour is added last, so sometimes you will get a paler egg. If it is persistent it can be a sign of worms, or just old age. With paler eggs, the shells are often thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I don't think it's anything to be concerned about, as my ex-batt monsters all lay very different eggs and always have done. Clover's are very dark brown, Daisy's almost white, Hope's pale brown and round, Chance's pale brown and bullet-shaped, Joy's medium brown and speckledy at one end (and Dandelion's are invisible ). All the same type of hen, all fed the same thing and kept the same way - all very different eggs. At least it's easy to tell who's laid what .
