Buff Orpington laying white egg

[ElaynasChick]

Hello! so yesterday my 5 month and 1 week old buff orpington laid her first egg and i was expecting it to be a nice brown or light brown color but it was a white-ish pink color and todays egg was light pink. do any of you know why she is not laying the normal color. all my other chickens lay beautiful colors that are very pigmented and bright ( but i mean i wouldn't be mad if i got a pink egg every day)

Because of her pedigree, not all Orphington. It's fine, just not what you were expecting!

Post a picture. Are you sure she is an Orpington?

My Buff Orpington also lays pinkish, extremely light eggs. She's from a Hatchery, so that certainly explains it. She is such a sweetheart though and I'm grateful she lays as well as she does (I'm sure you feel the same ) Best wishes!

All signs point to Buff Orpington. It maybe because she has just started laying.

One of my BO’s lays very light pinkish white eggs and they are rough, not smooth like the other eggs.

Egg color varies quite a bit naturally. And often changes over time.
