Such variety. Maybe I just need to add morè EE's to increase the odds of getting the pretty blues and greens . :)

Hahaha, Merro. I think that is the same as I am dealing with. Two girls, Lily and Ellie. One still lays blue eggs, but the other brown. :) They are beautiful, sweet birds. The eggs eat the same.

For their first laying season, my EE's layed the prettiest blue eggs. Then they molted and quit laying. When they resumed laying, I got one mire blue egg from each, but that was it. Now they lay brown eggs. My hubby said they ran out of blue ink. Wonder if they will change again.

Sorry, just saw the above link. :)

If it's the egg problem, is there a fix

Thanks for your reply. Everyone said coccidiosis. I have 8 pullets so I was scared not to treat. I've seen no other signs in any others. I'll stop the treatments.

Tuesday, August 20, where my 6 year old hen slept was a bright red bloody poo. I suspected coccidiosis. I bleached the poop board and and waterers and quarantined her until I could get off work. At home, there was no poop, bloody or otherwise, in the cage where she had been quarantined. She had...
