Hi All, I have 5 mixed breed pullets (Cochin and Marans mix) They started laying at the beginning of the month. I think only 3 of the 5 birds were laying. I went out last night to tuck the girls in and collect eggs.... I found this strange egg... not like the pink and brown ones I have been getting. Any idea why? I guess time will tell if I have an olive egger. Has anyone else ever seen this before??
It could be just a fluke. From those breeds I can not image a green egg, but stranger things have happened.
That kinda looks like what they call a banded egg, no idea why the calcium deposits would take on a greenish tinge. http://www.alltech.com/sites/default/files/alltech-egg-shell-quality-poster.pdf
