My EE/Americuana first Eggshell color changed?

[The Moonshiner]

What he is saying is that a chicken only has two choices of egg shell color. Either white or blue. There are then genes that can add brown to the outside of an egg. That will turn a white egg brown or a blue egg green.
If a hen is laying a white shelled egg that's all it will ever lay. If it lays a blue shelled egg that's all it will ever lay.
If it has the gene for brown coating the shade of brown on a white egg can lighten as it gets deeper in the laying cycle and the same goes for brown coating on a blue egg. The shade of green can lighten.
Brown or green can also darken when they take time off then resume laying.
But a white or brown egg layer will never change to laying blue or green nor will a blue or green egg layer change to laying white or brown.

Confusing, isn't it. Let me try. Whatever color egg your hen lays, that is the only color egg she will lay. She won't lay a blue egg one day, a pink or brown egg a different day, and then a white egg another day. Each hen lays a specific color egg unique to herself.

So if you found a brown egg in the nest on a Tuesday and blue egg in the same nest on a Wednesday, they were not laid by the same hen.

Sorry, I should have edited to add .... what The Moonshiner and others are saying is that whatever color egg a hen lays, there may be SUBTLE variations of shade in that color throughout her laying season, but she will still only lay the same basic COLOR egg. Hope this helps.

 

[The Moonshiner]

A hen can lay various shades of brown or various shades of green.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

"OR" being the operative word. She can't lay both.

Curious why?

I have the eggshell from the blue egg she laid it’s blue inside and out

Yes, the shell color goes all the way thru, tho with blue shells you sometimes have to peel off the inner membranes(best done immediately after breaking open egg)to see the blue inner shell. The brown coating is only on the outside of shell, why it's called a coating.
The blue egg layer did not lay the pinkish egg.

So we can see the Hens breed.

Kinda figured that much.
But curious if that should matter.
