I have 12 chickens but only two laying...a brown leghorn and 1 easter egger. Out of the 12 I own 3 easter egger the 1 that's laying and 2 that are 25 weeks old. My easter egger that is laying only started about 3 weeks ago and she has always laid an olive looking light green egg. The other day I thought both hens took a break and then I got a teal light blue egg. Is it possible another chicken started laying or could her egg color have changed? The blue egg was not in her normal laying spot but if it wasn't her then she hasn't laid in a few days. Today she keeps running in and out of the coop and I had my kids check and there was another blue egg and then a white one from my Brown leghorn. Another chicken could have gone in there without me seeing, but the only chickens I have seen in there at all today are my two original laying hens, but they both lay in the same spot every time. How do you guys keep up with whose laying what? I've read different stories. Yes they can change color because the brown coating goes on in the last minutes before they lay and the amount can very which determines how green and blue they are and then I've read they can't change colors. So confusing. Personally I don't care what color they lay Im just curious if I should be celebrating another one of my girls starting to laying or not.
