My daughter found this in the yard

[Mamahen525]

My daughter went out to check the chicken boxes, and found this in the middle of the yard. She said it was already cracked. It's super veiny..should I be concerned? We currently have 2 laying BCM (and the 3rd possibly started? We're getting 2 bcm eggs a day), and 2 EEs (1 blue egg, 1 green). This one looks almost pink

Perhaps one of my 5-6 month old just dropped their first and ran? The others are random breeds. OE, EE, Brahma, and Polish.

I think they're hairline cracks rather than veins, so no need to be concerned.

that would be my guess too.

They do have oops sometimes. If they are smart they will eat it.

She was eating it! But now I'm questioning whose egg it was, because she lays a dark brown.

but it's obviously a very thin shell, and the bloom (whence the colour) is usually thin too on a thin shell, so might appear lighter than usual.

Now that she's discovered that eggs taste good you will have a problem, she will continue to eat them.

How do I stop her?

I've fed 10,000 eggs to my chickens and they never eat unbroken eggs
