King Quail Egg with Blue Line?

[MageofMist]

I was checking the eggs when I noticed one of the eggs looked different compared to the others, being brown like normal, but with a blue line around the top.
I am wondering if this is normal or if there is possibly some issues going on with the hen? Either way, the egg is quite pretty.

I sometimes get that with my Japanese quail and the shells are usually a bit thinner than usual - it's usually because they've been a bit stressed about something, even just getting cleaned out can do it! It just went through the 'egg making factory' a bit fast and that bit missed getting painted I would say.

Ah, that is good. It wasn't that long since the younger quails had been added, which I imagine was quite stressful for her at first, all her other eggs she laid since are normal looking.

Plus I agree with Binki, I love that description! XD
