   Morning all -
   
   Over the past few weeks, I've noticed what used to be deep brown and tan eggs are fading to lighter shades. Should I be worried? Only things that's changed really is the temp...
   
   Thanks for the replies.

   I find that if they have been laying a long time since the last molt, the shell color fades. After they molt and refresh their system, the egg shell color is very nice when they do start laying again.
