I do not like green eggs and ham

Your EE'r lays cream colored eggs? I was going to post a question regarding this.

My EE'r had laid 7 straight tinted eggs...until yesterday. I found a cream/light tan colored egg last night.

Now...as you can see below, I have a mixed flock and some should lay cream/light tan colored eggs. However, unless I have a new hen laying, it would have had to come from the EE'r. It is about the same size as the other eggs.

I was wondering...since I have a Brahma roo and the Brahma hens lay a light brown egg, is it possible that if he bred her that he could affect the color of the egg? BTW, I have seen the dirty deed with him and several hens.

Thanks.

I love green eggs too! Not sure about the ham part but we are Suess fans here too.

Now, I don't believe this but I have to admit my curiosity is getting the better of me.

I know that you can work on darkening eggs with diet, can you work on colors too?

A friend - whose father owns an egg factory - claims that you can get varied colors from EEs by feeding them different colored foods. Want those green eggs bluer? Feed them blueberries. Want them pink? Feed them eggplant.

Just wondering if anyone had ever tried this - or heard of anyone?
