Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 That sounds odd . I take it all your eggs are collected from a nestbox and not from hidey holes round the garden (where they may have been sitting a while?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Do they freerange? There's an article here about problems with eggs which mentions greenish yolks. Otherwise, I have no idea, I'm afraid . Don't be upset, it's her loss . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 You could have a hen with an infection in her oviduct. It might be worth trying to identify which hen lays the troublesome eggs and take her to the vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
