Edgeman Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 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 Edgman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I would treasure it! Mine sometimes lay pale, or white eggs... no apparent reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Imagine a standard quail egg, my quail normally lay them like that but sometimes I have blue and white ones aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
