I know that silkies all lay cream colored eggs. My #1 layer has been laying a dark cream color with occasional speckles on it. She's been my only layer thus far. We got 2 new silkies a few weeks ago, who are close to laying age.
This morning I got a VERY pale cream colored egg (almost white), a little longer and thinner then my #1's usual size. Never seen one of hers this light. Could one of my new one's be the new layer, or is it possible my #1 can actually lay one so different from her previous? I thought they always laid the same color, but could shade change?
I'm going to keep watching them to see, I just figured the new one's need a couple more weeks still... they are about 22 weeks.
