My chickens haven't laid more than 2 eggs for the past 2 days (usually I get 6 per day) and tonight hubby went out and found a brown egg that looked pink. We thought maybe it had come from our Ameraucana hen, but on closer inspection we found that the egg was brown with a weird dusty looking coating. I'm assuming it was the bloom. Does anyone know why a chicken would lay an egg with such a weird looking bloom??? They have more than enough oyster shell, and I haven't gotten any thin shelled or shell-less eggs or anything. I just don't know why I've only gotten 4 eggs in the past 2 days, and the third for today was laid around 9pm and had this funny coating that I'm talking about. Thanks!
