Has anyone had a brown egg layer lay a random white egg?

[dominiquetrix]

I found a white egg in my run about a week ago.
All my girls are brown egg layers- Dominique, Wyndotte, BCM.
The run is fenced and has wire on top. It is also inside our fenced backyard.

Anybody have any ideas?

Our neighbor has one black bantom who does fly over their fence occasionally.
I found her in my yard yesterday. She is very shy, no one can catch her. It seems unlikely she would have gotten into my run much less stayed long enough to lay an egg.

What do you guys think?

I have. not blazing white, but from one day, dark marans egg, next day, barely off white cream tinted with a faint splattering of tiny brown flecks of pigment.

My wyandottes sometimes lay very light colored eggs....could that be a possibility?

Ii wondered if it could be the wyndotte. Her's are the lightest eggs I have. But, this egg is WHITE. No spots. A little rough in texture, you know what I mean? The shell is not smooth, but is white and a little smaller than the Wyns. normal eggs. ( Her's are the smallest egs I get)

That's crazy! She just started laying white eggs? how does that happen? Is it "normal" or a sign of some nutritional or other issue?

So far I've only gotten one white egg. Has your hen continued to lay white eggs, if so for how long?
