quail egg color ?

[Aneury Sanchez]

Hello right now I have only 2 female coturnix hens laying eggs. I get one to two eggs daily one is a pharaoh the other a Tibetan/Rosetta. My Tibetan/Rosetta hen always lays eggs of the same color, but the eggs from my pharaoh female always have a different color design she started laying eggs with dark green patches then regular-colored eggs and yesterday I got an all-blue egg without any spots. I believe she is at least half celadon as when I hatched out the eggs from Ebay i had one celadon egg hatch at it was pharaoh colored but it got mixed up with the other chicks from regular-colored eggs but only 1 other pharaoh chick hatched, so is it because she only has 1 copy of the celadon gene that makes her egg color keep changing?

Is she a new layer? If so, her eggs will settle into a pattern.
Is she getting enough calcium? You can offer egg shell or oyster shell on the side and she will eat as much as she needs.

It is not normal for a hen to change her egg pattern once she's an established layer. There will be occasional quirks, but not daily. This has nothing to do with her being a possible celadon carrier.

I was noticing some eggs of my new layers lacking a pattern of any kind and mostly just look like a pastel blue and so it's because they are new layers?

Sometimes they just fail to print, but egg oddities are more likely to happen with new layers as their reproductive system matures.
