The egg from today is in left and yesterday egg on right. This is from the same hen the only thing different is we had bad weather yesterday. What you think?

The coloring on the egg is just a "dye" the hen puts on to protect the egg from bacteria entering it and act as camouflage. Depending on if the hen had enough dye to put on or any other factors such as stress, dehydration, feed intake, when she laid last, etc...all effect how much dye is put on and how dark it is. It doesn't indicate much. So I wouldn't be too concerned unless she starts to constantly lay eggs with barely or no color at all.
