BR Egg Changed Color???

[TipsyDog]

My Barred Rock has been laying typical light brown BR eggs in color and size since she started laying 6 weeks ago. Yesterday and today the egg color has changed ALOT - white with a pinkish hue. What would cause an egg color to change like that? She has oyster shell, layer crumbles and free ranges all day. Nothing has changed in diet or routine. Any ideas?

ETA: Should I be worried?

I wouldn't worry, it might just be a fluke. You're sure it came from her?

Its been a while away from BRs but mine had rose colored brownish eggs. I loved the color.

I'm 98% sure it came from the BR. The other 2% it could have come from a RIR, which would be even more alarming because the RIR's are darker than the BR's to begin with. It's two days in a row now with this very light egg.

We have a Java that just started laying green colored eggs. I was very surprised! I was sure her eggs would be brown. I am waiting to see if the color changes as she gets older.
