Linda B Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi everyone Has my 4 girls since early June now and just love them to bits! I've started a much sought after business supplying eggs to my workmates and demand far outstrips supply. Anyway, had a report back today that one of the eggs had a normal colour yolk but the albumen was quite a dark pink colour. Any ideas what would have caused this? She said that it smelt fine but didn't want to use it. Never had this feedback before. There's been a few fireworks going off lately and wondered if one of the girls got a bit of a fright!? Any ideas anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Two thoughts; One; blood related, but not seen this before so don't know how likely it is. I suppose you need to see if you can identify which hen laid these. Two; I do know that this can happen if they ate something extemely red! For example, dyed fishing maggots instead of the plain white ones.... ...guess how I know? Whatever it is, I hope it's temporary, and do report back how it goes.

Roxanne Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Beetroot?? It used to do disgusting things to my childrens's poo when they were in nappies!! And in those days I didn't use disposables...! It is a very strong colourant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
