Blue Copper Maran is laying almost white eggs?

[NatJ]

My 3 blue copper marans have been laying brown eggs for the last 8ish weeks - and now 2 days in a row I have found an almost white egg. I thought that it was definitely one of my 17 week old EEs but the camera in the coop shows no signs of them laying in there, just the marans. Should I be worried that’s something’s wrong, does this happen for various reasons, or is this just poor egg color quality in a hen?

Since you were getting dark eggs for a while, either you have a new layer (lays lighter eggs), or you have a few "oops" eggs that didn't get as much brown as usual. Either one is possible.

Sometimes a hen will lay an egg that didn't get the usual amount of brown coating in the last layer of the shell. If that happens, the shell might also be a bit thinner than usual. If you go back to just getting dark eggs, that is probably what happened.

I missed that about the change in color, my apologies.

Ok, I have 2-3yr old Rocks, they have always been good layers of brown eggs. Suddenly, one has become sick and stopped laying. I thought maybe water belly but I think she would have died already if it was. The second rock is still laying but her eggs are turning cream colored and one was hard on sides but soft on one end (see picture) Twice now she has layed 2eggs same day. One cream color and the other soft shelled. Today the soft shell was more like wall mud. I took apart and found some blood. They have free range to calcium other hens seem to be laying fine. This is not normal but what’s going on?
