Found this gray-looking egg today. Kind of feels like sandpaper. Who laid it? I have a (I think) Olive Egger who has yet to lay. Or I’m wondering if it might be from my BCM who normally lays chocolate brown eggs. As the egg sat in my hand, I could see a chocolate brown color coming through. Curious why it looks and feels this way and if it’s from my first-time OE layer or if my Old Faithful BCM layer had an odd color day.

Egg on left in group of three is the egg in question. Brown egg in second picture is from my BCM.

pretty...bloom-y.

Matte has more bloom. Below a black copper maran egg with bloom.

Below is a gray egg with less bloom because it is shine-y,

But you can wash the dark off a BCM egg also, But on a BCM egg, nobody says it is bloom. Just get a pic anytime you can.
