Maybe. If it hits Milwaukee it will hit me. I live 30 minutes from there.

on a happier note I found this:
"
Pink, Plum, Purple, and Gray

Current research acknowledges only two base shell colors: white and blue. However, pink eggs are common among Easter Eggers, purple or lavender eggs sometimes result from barnyard crosses, and Croad Langshans lay plum colored eggs. While it may be that a pink pigment can permeate the shell (see this forum discussion), pink coloring usually results from the bloom or cuticle which is a protein-like mucous coating applied by the hen’s reproductive tract just before the egg is laid which protects the egg from bacteria. This is why it is best not to wash clean eggs; washing removes the protective cuticle.

This cuticle, when applied over a white egg shell, creates a pink-colored egg. Just as thicker layers of protoporphyrin result in a darker brown egg, thicker layers of bloom result is a darker plum-colored egg as in that of the Croad Langshan (a breed which was actually used in the development of the Marans.) Gray appears to be the result of a thick layer of bloom over a blue or green egg."
