from brown to cream???????????

[crzychknluvr]

When my hens started laying the eggs were a nice brown color. Now they have become a cream color??? I did start oyster shell?? I dunno what do you guys think??

Same thing happened with my hens. Their eggs got very light in color right before they went into their molt. How old are your hens?

They are about 6mos now

So too young for a full blown molt.
All I can tell you is that my hens have gone thru several cycles and towards the end of a cycle, their eggs get very light in color.

My Isa hens will do that just before they molt. And once they are done molting, and start laying again, the eggs are light.

Thanks for the insight!
