Green egg layer

[CCUK]

Just thought I'd share this. I've just egg collected and one of my quails has layed a green egg! Never seen one this colour from them. Plenty of white and normal 'camo' colour, never green!

It’s so pretty!

Are you sure a robin didn't get in there!?
Lol

Wow that's amazing! So pretty!

I think that with it being a bit smaller than the normal egg, it passed through the Shell gland to quick for the full colour to be added. It does look nice though!

Something odd is happening in my quail house. Today I got this.

Full size. Just pale green!

There's a strain of coturnix that are laying what are being called "Celadon" eggs, the eggs are blue/green from what I've read. Maybe your hen has these genetics? Are you still getting the green eggs?
