My friend has had his chickens since late May of last year. He tells me that lately the eggs have been getting whiter. He couldn't remember the breed off-hand, but said they look like BRs, but aren't. I'm thinking Dominiques or Marans (I forgot to ask him about the combs).

What would cause this change in relatively young hens?
 
It's not uncommon for eggs to become paler then when the hens first started laying.
