My Hens, just under 1 yr old, have slowed down the egg process for winter. No biggie. But when I went out to the coop 4 days ago I found an odd egg. It was Pure White.
Let me explain. I have 8 Girls, 2 Barred rock- Rhode Island Red cross, 3 Tetra Tints, 1 Amerucauna, 1 Silkie and 1 Khaki Cambell Duck (and of course, puck my BR-RIR Roo and Brittany my Drake).
Before winter I was getting:
LG White Duck egg from Duck
2 MD Tan eggs from BR-RIR
1 sm BLU Egg from Ameracuana
1 sm Tan/ creamy Egg from Silkie
2 LG Brown eggs from TT
and recentally a tanish-brownish speckled egg I assumed was from the 3rd TT
So... WHO the HECK laid the White egg?!?
Unless Puck felt out of place from the girls, I didn't think the eggs could change color.
I have 3 of these white eggs now, the second one had a pinkish tint.
As far as I know, no one is playing tricks on me. So my question is, can eggs change color after stop laying for a while?
If I can't find out whose laying, I am going to put up a spy camera one day. But this completely threw me off! It was pure white!
