Brown egg layers now laying white...

[Equus]

Not sure which girls started laying white eggs. I lost my only white egg gal earlier this year. I suspect it's 2 of my 3 sex links. They are 3 this year. Is this normal age-related stuff or should I be concerned? Pic attached of today's eggs. TIA!

What kinds of breeds do you have in your flock?

Black star sex links, easter eggers, and RIR. The RIR are a February hatch from this year.

Wow,that’s really odd that you got a white egg from one of those breeds.I know Easter Eggers lay a variety of egg colors but I don’t think they lay white!

Sometimes at the end of the 'season' the brown coating kinda runs out so just the white shell shows.

One of my brown layers is laying a bit lighter right now, too

We only have one EE laying right now and that's her egg at the top. The other is raising a couple of chicks right now and hasn't been laying. I forgot to put in my list we have 2 buff chanteclers which also lay brown eggs. Most of my gals are starting to molt right now except the sex links and my one EE who has been actively laying.

Just FYI:
If a green/blue layer 'runs out of ink' the egg will show the blue shell.
