Duck Egg Off-Color. Help!

[Kaessa]

Interesting! It's definitely not just the bloom, as I can't scratch the color off. I haven't cracked them open yet, however I will be tomorrow to see what the yolks look like.

Any reason they might be in shell gland too long?

I'd love to see pics of what they look like on the inside, too! I wonder if the color goes all the way through?

Well, we just cracked them open. They look completely normal on the inside, white shell and normal yoke. However, the shells were really thick and so were the membranes!

That would be consistent with them being in the shell gland longer. I wonder what would cause that?

I wonder too! I'll see if I can find any information on it! Thanks for the help!!
