Eggs changed color HOW CAN THIS BE??

So it makes sense that while the egg is still in the oviduct it would be green.

No, the green is from brown coating over a blue shell.

Oops, you're right. Olive is brown coating over green. I'll go back and correct my post. Thanks.

Wait .... then how does there be a green egg in the oviduct?
Now I'm confused.

Was it close to being laid maybe? It had just gotten its coating right before she was culled?

@DemeterAD9 is correct.. The

Please remember this is a no judgment zone. If a person chooses to process their birds for meat, that is their business.

Not to mention this thread is several months old and the OP isn't even active here anymore.

And so the mystery continues.

you KILLED them just because they werent laying?!?!?!?!?!

People cull chickens for less reason than that. For instance, they were born male, wrong color eggs/feathers, they were ugly, they didn’t fit SOP, they had too many… the list goes on. I’d much rather see people processing their unneeded/wanted birds rather than dumping them as one such stranger did a couple years back. Imagine my surprise when I saw a small flock of scraggly birds down the road. They also tossed the feed bags they used to transport them. Honestly it is so much easier/faster to process them than it is to find someone to take them. Plus you get the meat whereas most the time you’d get nothing for all your hard work raising them.

I give up. My head is spinning at this point. Sorry.
