Old fogies with new hobby

No, my first eggs were green although the brown eggs came within a day or 2.

OK, well that gets rid of my idea of why, sorry.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Pull up roost stay awhile.
Some have a tougher shell add extra as long as none thin do not worry.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Sounds like the shells are thin. Always offer oyster shell in a separate tub or bowl on the side. Keep it near the food or water. Oyster shell is a perfect source of calcium to help form hard shells. Thin shelled eggs are harder to pass as well, could lead to egg binding.

Ok thanks

This may just have to remain a mystery. Is it possible that some just lay naturally thicker shells?

That's kind of what I was thinking. Thanks
