I am mearly posting for curiosity. I have a lovely brown hen who always lays brown eggs. The other hens lay white coloured. Recently she is laying more white than brown. She is about 1.5 yrs old. Is this common for egg colour to change?
I assume the egg I point at is here, but before easy much browner and obvious. My 4 yr old decorated bowl today...

The brown coating can vary and can also become more pale as the laying season progresses.
So she's about 18 months old, has she molted?
Darker brown coating should return when she starts laying again after a molt.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, (laptop version shown), then it's always there!
