New egg?

[christallynn]

Haven't seen this color egg before and I've been waiting on some other hens to start laying. The light brownish pink looking egg, when it's dry it's the first pic and I wet it and it's brown like the other then goes back to the brownish pink color. So is this the way these eggs are and it's a new egg or is it from a hen laying already and the eggs or hen has an issue I need to address?

It could be either scenario. Watch for more like it then you'll know a new pullet is laying.

That is a pink egg. The colored eggs when wet do look darker.

It’s just the bloom, the natural barrier of protection, they are sometimes slightly different colours to the egg shell, which is why they look different when you wet the bloom and see the shell underneath.
