Raina Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Me again One of my Hens,Lady Lay, Has started laying eggs everyday for the past 2 weeks, but i have noticed something. Her eggs started out pinky cream then they went to really dark brown (looked slightly red), then to cream, then to light brown and now they are brown with dark brown spots? Is this normal? My other hen,Orakiah, Lays light brown eggs with the occasional dark brown spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxFighters Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Dear Raina, Sorry I don't have an answer but I was going to ask more or less the same question! My usually lays a brown speckledy egg very day, but today laid a very pale cream one! No change to diet or anything? The only difference is that the weather has been a bit darker today and for the last few days? Surely that's not the cause? Hopefully it's just one of those Chicken things, unexplained and bizarre!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hi Jackie & Holly, She's still doing it lol I hope it is something to do with the weather, as i already have enough odd pets LOL My other Hen, Orakiah has started to lay everyday about the same time as Lady Lay, and her eggs are still the same colour Thanks, Raina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxFighters Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Dear Raina, Since I wrote last we are now getting a real range of eggs from both chickens! They seem absolutely fine though, fingers crossed We also get a range of sizes from both hens too, though no double yolkers for a long time! I suppose they're like us, they have good days, bad days, big eggs, smaller eggs.......... Still think it might be to do with the weather/seasons Don't worry too much! (she says, being the biggest worrier ever since getting chickens!!!) My daughter loves the name Lady Lay by the way!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Mine laid a lash months ago and when she does lay its white eggs now instead of brown and very soft shells and rough not smooth like the others - the eggs themselves are fine but the shells are awful. Believe me I have tried the lot to no avail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
