I was wondering why exactly my girls' egg color has gone so pale all of a sudden.

On Thurday we had a dog masacre in our coop and everyone is still kinda frazzled. I know I am. But could that be the reason behide the pale eggs????My RSL is the most noticable. I went from a real light brown to almost white.

And what exactly makes the color lighter? And will get go back to being the shades they were? And if so when?


I should also say that I have not changed they diet or anything else. The only change is half the flock is missing.

I agree. You've seen the eggs I got today right? That's about as light as mine go. They'll start over with a new cycle and they'll go back to dark brown.
 
From one chicken that was laying dark brown eggs (Barred Rock) she starting laying thin shelled, white eggs, and now they are thick shelled, whiteish light brown eggs. I first suspected a new layer, but I've caught her now several times.

She's been doing it for nearly a month, so I don't think it's the end of her cycle. She's also young, and just started laying in Nov. Her eggs look like a pregnant gal's tummy...they have a bump! LOL
