Egg Color Change - Normal?

[Lunachick]

Should I bee concerned? My two red stars have been laying beautiful dark brown eggs since May. Yesterday one layed a very light, almost white egg. Today another whitish one but it had wrinkles and was elongated. Is this a sign of some kind that I have to worry about? They get layer mash, oyster shell is offered, and they get to roam the yard and find my compost pile that has crushed eggshell in it. Or is it just a phase and I'll get my brown eggs again?

We get a weird egg, or an off colored egg occasionally. I don't really think twice about it. I might, if it happens frequently. I think they just lay a dud once in a while. I've noticed this seems to happen more often with the younger hens.

LOL, andy! Anyway to the OP, I'll get a lighter colored egg every once in while. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to why they are light, they just are.
