Easter bunny swapping out my eggs?!

Interesting My chicken poo doesn't glow pink at all. I can zoom in further and it is still the same as I said above.
If you have better pics, in different lighting, that would be great. I did just see that Fresh eggs daily was doing some natural dying to her eggs. That was pretty and still looked natural. I also looked for pics of pink eggs and while there are some, they are more of a pale pink. If it is the lighting, maybe take bettter pics?

If you have chickens that are laying pink eggs... then you could be on to something pretty cool! Let me show you what it looks like when the Easter Bunny comes to ME...

@FrankHomestead i believe that you didn’t do it and I understand that it was just the lighting. The problem is that isa browns don’t lay pink eggs cause they don’t have that color pigment. Salmon Faverolles are the only ones that really lay pink eggs and they lay light-dull pink.

What do you mean they don't have that color pigment? What color pigment?
What do SFs have that makes them lay pink eggs that no other chicken has?
Interesting post. Would like to know more.

Color(aka pigment) pigment is a spray that the hens will spray on the eggs as one of the last stages of egg laying. That’s why you can sometimes see eggs dry immediately after being laid. Certain breeds have certain pigments. All eggs start out white and are sprayed with that color. Brown is the most common pigment. SF’s and EE’s and other colored layers just have a certain protein that can produce different pigments like blue and pink

EDIT: oops I seem to have mistaken SF’s for another breed. I can’t find that breed now but I know that there is a breed that lays pink eggs

Wow! I believe it! I have had the things like that happen to me! One time I watched my barred rock lay an egg I pulled it out and it was almost pure white! It happened a couple times but now they are turning more to a brown.

According to Henderson’s handy chicken chart Plymouth rocks can sometimes lay light pinkish eggs
