The oldest one I have is about 3 this year. She is the Barred Rock, so yes brown.
I don't recall her molting last year. She's had a rough winter. We had a dog attack in December and she was injured but survived.
I also noticed a couple weeks ago an egg with a soft shell like leathery and have...
Ok update. Tried to wash them and was being gentle, but one just cracked in my hand. Cracked the other to test shell hardness. Both had thin shells and were definitely white. All my chickens have good layer diet and free range daily. Could it be my older hen getting to the end of her egg laying?
Until recently I have been getting light blue, olive green, and varying shades of brown eggs. Then I've had two mystery white eggs show up. I was pretty sure all my hens were already laying and I don't have any white laying breeds that I'm aware of. Here a list.
