People often talk about chickens, egg colors not changing much. I have had the same five chickens for three years now, and I used to get eggs from the americanas And medium brown eggs from the cinnamon queens. And light brown eggs from the buff orphingtons. I now get almost white colored eggs and wonder to extremely light brown eggs. The hens are going on three years old and they are happy and healthy and their diet has not changed. But this year all of the egg colors are different. Is this possible?. It must be possible because it’s happening for sure. I have five chickens, and three of the five eggs are now almost white.
 
I have not answers for you, I just wanted to comment that my Buff Orpington has also gone from laying nice brown eggs, to eggs so light brown they are practically pink. Their food has not changed and neither has their environment that I am aware of.
 
Egg color can fade through the season, and as birds age. You can see it in their coloration as well, with older hens having duller or paler legs compared to when they're younger.
