Egg Colors

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.

This hen mix, a RIR over a BO, laid an ivory egg.

Here is the egg compared to one of her sisters.

Her father was a RIR from a hatchery. Mother was a BO from a breeder. Is this a common thing.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't been watching. She was using a broody's nest while the broody was doing her constitutional. I was waiting to candle the eggs which were all marked.
Just goes to show Hatchery's do sell barnyard chickens.

You never know what you'll get LOL.

She looks like her father but takes after her mother.

My BO's lay a light brown egg, so I don't think it came from her. But the Roo coming from a hatchery
