Newest concern - egg color and texture change

[Wainbowmudd]

Beautiful Betty has been laying for nearly two months without a break inbetween like all my other hens. Normally she lays spotted Olive eggs. The last two days they look more grayish and rough. Nothing else seems out of ordinary besides our weather I guess. Cause for concern??

Two weird eggs vs normal at the bottom

Pretty drastic color change to me

To me it does not look like eggs from the same hen.

I know but it is. I have a nest box cam

My olive egger used to have this happen as well! Some eggs looked grey/slate and some were green and speckled! She was my only olive egger so I know they were hers. No idea why!

I only have 6 hens (5 that are laying) and a nest box cam so I know they are hers, it’s very bizarre and drastic change

New layers often have weirdness, yes at two months in she's still new.
But nothing to worry about, they aren't wrinkly or misshapen just a few shades off.

My one pullet has had a lot of variation in her eggs since she started laying too. I think it’s just less dramatic because hers are just a light brown. But I’ve had some that are quite dark, a few that I thought were giant eggs from my silkie (looked tinted rather than brown), a random soft shelled one a day earlier than she had been laying, and one really tiny one. It takes a while for them to iron out all the kinks when they get started.

Im not a weird egg braggart but one of my pullets started today.

I found one like that this summer. With the egg song that came out of her, you'd have thought she laid a watermelon.
