Dark Green Egg

Thanks, I think so too!

You're welcome.

Looks like abit Sand papery, plus uneven pigmentation. Very unique.

Sometimes the ink blotter goes Kooky, it may or may not last, I had a BCM that was laying a nice brick egg, then it laid one purple, and I haven't seen a purple one since. If I could get a hen to lay purple eggs all the time...OOOH!

Take pictures of you egg!

Yes, it was a bit sand papery!

I like that concept - the ink blotter went a bit kooky

I read something once that the pigment gets overlaid on the shell last thing in the egg-making process. So if it travels faster, less color is put on the eggshell. If it travels slower, there is more pigment. I have not verified this info.

That’s an interesting theory. I can’t recall how long it had been since she last laid an egg before this one appeared, but probably not more than a day or two. Thanks

Some of my chickens have a variance in their egg color, sometimes darker, sometimes lighter, sometimes speckled, sometimes not, however, one thing they haven't done is lay completely different colors from the same hen.

Had anyone seen different colors from the same hen? Not just shades of the same color, but a totally different color?

Its a beautiful egg.

Thank you! I thought it was beautiful too

You should blow it out and keep it! I agree that it was probably just a glitch, lol.
