Multi coloured egg??!

[Excitednewbie]

Hey everyone
I have a lovely olive egger lady, she seems to lay strange eggs

Does anybody have any ideas to what could cause her eggs to be multi coloured like this ?
Ive tried researching but have come up empty handed so im turning to the chicken experts

Could it be something related to her reproductive system ? Some kind of illness ? Or could that just be her eggs?! She is/ could be olive egger crossed with aracauna or cream legbar- it almost looks as though parts of the egg are olive and parts are the blue from aracauna/cream legbar

Very pretty! Is she a new layer, perhaps? It can take a bit for their plumbing to get everything going at the beginning.

How old is she? Takes a little over a year for eggs to be consistent.

She is just over a year old, shes been laying for maybe around 6-7 months, her laying hasnt been consistent (yet) it can be a few weeks between her eggs, she has had a couple fully olive eggs but a majority of them have been like the one pictured. Ive never seen eggs like hers before!!! so basically just wanting to try and make sure that theres not a health condition that i need to treat for her

Every time you use her egg check the density and texture. I think it's ok for her to lay non uniform colors on the egg. Color on an egg doesn't represent the condition of your birds health. Just means you have a unique hen.

Not in my experience.
Have had some birds that are more productive and consistent right off the get go,
but most smooth out production within a month or so after beginning to lay.

Color, yes.

My Olive Egger did this too, it changed from blue to green in my hands and back to blue when I put it down. The wonders of chickens I guess

i dont know if it's coincidence or not but since this post we have moved her to a different pen and she has been laying daily (rather then once every few weeks) and they have been fully olive! Not blue and olive!!! But none of her eggs have been fertile yet, i keep chucking a few in the incubator here and there to check for fertility
