Storm Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hi we just got our 4 hens on tuesday and on thursday 2 of them layed eggs, now we didnt get any eggs yesterday but today we got one. Im a bit confussed though as the hen that I thought layed a white egg on tuesday layed a brown one today is that possible? The hen in question is a speckled star and our other 3 are black stars.

Redwing Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm not sure, thats a strange one I have had eggs which have varied in shade but never colour, it sounds lke its from a different hen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 They can lack pigment if the shell isn't great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
