bouldercroft Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 nope - the speckles are definitely part of the shell - weird eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sari Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My leghorn's white eggs have a lighter white speckle on them...I assumed this was extra calcium or other pigment on it..the leghorn eggs are actually an off white, like those old "white with a hint of...." paints...but I can never decide what..the OH thinks I'm mad,,enthusing over the colurs of the eggs...
