Ridge Runner - Thanks so much! I will definitely check that link out!
Walking On Sunshine - That was exactly what I was wondering, was if there was a mean little box-shaker somewhere between Ohio, where the eggs were shipped from and my PO in Mn. My home PO is fantastic, even letting me come in at 6 am when the shipment arrives. It's the only way they could have gotten that mixed up. Seriously, just a homogenous golden yellow, with no yolk/whites difference at all. I can't believe you got 9 out of 12!! Wow, what a hatch!
Interesting about the latitude and sea level height. It makes sense, though. Especially to something like a porous egg shell. The humidity could cause bacterial infiltration, maybe? I know "they" say you can't leave eggs out once you have refrigerated them, as the condensation on the outside can push the bacteria into the egg...
And... Happy dance! My buff EE that had the red ear lobes just laid a beautiful blue egg today, same shade as my other EE. Now I really want to get going on this next spring, while these guys are still young and laying regularly.
