Lavender spots on eggs?

[Tiffany541]

Found this egg in the coop and not sure who laid it cause I have 5 brown layers, never have gotten spotted eggs. This one is standard brown with purple/lavender colored speckle.
Chickens are all 6 months old and have been laying for about 3 weeks

That's not unusual in brown eggs. The color can vary as well as the appearance and disappearance of spots.

Yep. Spray nozzle clogged.

My light brahmas laid eggs like that.
Think the 'lavender' color is a combo of pigment coating spots and the bloom.

'Speckled' eggs can happen for several different reasons...very few of which are a 'problem'.
Can be caused by:
Excess or uneven pigment coating.
Excess or uneven cuticle(bloom).
Excess calcium deposits.
Porous eggs can appear speckled.
Some birds lay them consistently, some only once in awhile.
The pigment or bloom can change appearance when wet, then change back when dry again.
As long as bird is getting a good diet and is healthy in every other way, it is no cause for concern.
