My small flock has been laying for about 6 weeks. Two weeks ago we had a bald eaglet that killed one of the flock. It shook the ladies up and they went into hiding for about two days. After that two of our gals started laying mauve-tinted eggs (they are golden buff/golden sex link/cinnamon/red star/whatever-your-hatchery-wants-to-call-them, so they usually are brown-egg layers). They've been giving me 6-7 full-sized eggs each week.
What's the verdict? Can trauma change egg color? If so, for how long?
Is it just that they are young pullets?
Is there some deficiency I should worry about?
