AlisonH Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Charlie chicken has always laid light brown eggs but this morning she laid a usual size but almost white egg! Anyone tell me why?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The colour is a final coating on the egg and for some reason she has not applied it AlisonH. Don't know if that's a permanent change or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlisonH Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Charlie has now laid 2 of her normal coloured eggs so I guess it was one of those unexplained things that chickens do to worry you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It occurred to me later that she could simply have laid the egg a few hours early AlisonH, before she had applied the colour coat. Obviously that's what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
