I've had her for about 5 or 6 months and she was 12 weeks old when I got her. She was much later laying that the other pullets I got at the same time (same age but different breeds). Never had a problem with her eggs. Now there's a chance that my older EE (who also lays blue eggs) laid it...

I believe my Ameraucan pullet laid this egg, just wondering if it's OK or a sign of something bad?

It looks to me like a layer that should have sloughed off.

I do have one and when I looked back at this egg I thought it must be hers! So it seems to have a beige covering over it, is that unusual?

I found this egg this morning in my coop, obviously some kind of internal issue but I've never seen it before. It really looks more blood-red than is shown in the photo. Any ideas? Unfertilized as I don't have roosters.

That is so interesting, thanks for your input! Joy

This might be a silly question, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me a guess as to what color these chicks will be. Same rooster for all, a Lavender Ameracana and I'm told the hens were Red Comets (I hatched them for my brother-in-law). The little guy was almost a week later than the others.
