Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Edgeman]

Hi,

 

On Sunday our 3 girls laid 2 eggs, so we thought oh well one of them is having a day off.. bless.

 

Edgewife checked the nest box yesterday evening and found 3 eggs and a white egg under the glug !

 

Our girls normally lay pinkish eggs and have never laid a white egg before. They have been laying since june.

 

We think we must have missed the white egg from Sunday but why now a white egg ????

 

any ideas ?

 

cheers

Mine can sometimes vary in colour with an occasional very pale egg (that was when they were laying eggs of course ). I have just thought they must be low on pigmentation that day! I've certainly not heard of any significance.

 

At least you found the egg

I would treasure it! Mine sometimes lay pale, or white eggs... no apparent reason.

She just ran out of paint for the day

That's a lovely idea LJ

Imagine a standard quail egg, my quail normally lay them like that but sometimes I have blue and white ones aswell.

Don't forget to bring me some on Saturday Martin. I have one of your boxes here... must remember to bring it for you.
