kitchens Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Wondered if anyone could shead some light on why my crested cream legbar eggs seem to be fading They were a lovely blue. She is a year old. Lovely lady. Can't seem to make her mind up if she's broody or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 My Rhode Island Red's eggs are fading too . I used to get pale brown ones from her but now hers are almost the same cream colour as my Pied Suffolk's . Makes it hard to tell them apart .

Egluntyne Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 They do fade as the pigment stores are used up. After their next moult, and accompanying rest from laying, you might notice that the eggs are darker again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ's Chooks Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 You'll probably notice their feet/legs pale off too.... ours start very yellow and then fade off.... Just like the eggs, but they are still beautiful!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy36 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 i also read that the sun fades egg colour- maybe more shade would help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
