Kalu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 No, they just provide calcium to make the egg shells harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 no the pigment for the shells is produced separately by the chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
