Pink eggs!

[jwyles]

My Speckled Sussex lays a light brown egg that is distinctly pink. I've seen others claim that Orpingtons lay pink-ish eggs, but mine (until I sold the evil witch) laid a very average, deep/medium brown egg, similar to that laid by my (equally witchy and also quickly sold) Silver Laced Wyandotte.

In this picture, the top egg is from my Easter Egger, the bottom left is from my Speckled Sussex, and the bottom right is from the Wyandotte.

The closest Ive come to a pinkish egg was from a dark brahma. It had a pinkish sheen to it. I miss that girl!

Starting to see a definite trend with those brahma, Sussex & autrolorpes as the go tos for pink eggs!

I have to show this off. I know I've already updated that I in fact did get a pink egg, but my brahma just impressed me today. She laid the biggest, prettiest mauve egg yet. I just thought the others looked pink but check out that big pretty egg top right!

I've had several light Brahmas that laid pink eggs, otherwise pretty random. Some individuals lay more pink eggs than otgers, but I don't think anyone has ever laid only pink eggs throughout their may in careers here.

Awe man. Oh well, hopefully I'll at least get one of these every so often. It's so perfect!

My light brahma has done it again! She just doesn't disappoint with her beautiful random pink eggs!
