Granny's gone and done it again

are you eating them?

Yes. Turns mostly white when cooked.

Got 5 eggs from the pullets and Spike laid her first of the year too!
Half dozen day!

A: Cloudiness of raw white is due to the presence of carbon dioxide which has not had time to escape through the shell and is an indication of a very fresh egg. A slight yellow or greenish cast in raw white may indicate the presence of riboflavin.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

For example, you might get eggs with whites that are yellow-tinged. The discoloration often stems from the chicken’s diet. If the chicken has been eating food with lots of riboflavin (like corn, carrots, and other deep yellow or orange colored foods), then the extra coloring might end up on the egg whites. In some cases, the chicken eating excess riboflavin might also cause its egg white to have a green tinge to it.

Other causes include the normal ageing of the eggs. If the eggs have been stored for a long time in substandard conditions (e.g. at higher temperatures), then the egg whites might become yellower than normal.

As long as the egg doesn’t smell particularly funky and bad, then it’s safe to eat. The color will disappear once you cook it and the egg white will turn to its usual plain white color if cooked.

No more eggs because the filter is sucking them up? Or maybe there's trouble in paradise?

There is a green tinge. I figured it was from them eating grass. They don't get much corn. Riboflavin... extra healthy!
