Peacocks

[Kalu]

Morning,

 

I have 3 girls - who each lay very different eggs - I have always baked and crushed their shells to add to their grit but as the Skyline has only recently started laying (after a years break) I now have green shells to add to the mix - as the other girls will be absorbing these too, will the colour effect the colour of the other girls eggs, particular the Coral (Flo) who lays pinky white eggs?

 

Many thanks

No, they just provide calcium to make the egg shells harder.

no the pigment for the shells is produced separately by the chicken
