Possible for pullet to start laying brown eggs, then switch to blue?

I've never heard of egg color changing. I have heard of rare events (BYC forum) of a chicken managing to lay two eggs in one day (although I'm still not sure how, because I thought it was @25 hour cycle???). I'd think the latter was more likely... Are you SURE you only have four chickens...lol???

 

I heard it was a 20hour cycle... I've also heard it is impossible for them to change colour

but hey.. birds like to confuse us

 

I have an easter egger that was laying a khaki colored egg, and since her molt her eggs are now very green. Of my two Ameraucana hens, who were/are both laying bluer eggs, one of their shades of blue has made an obvious change (again, since molting). I find this quite strange!

 

Egg color can vary within the same color type only. So it is not possible your easter egger could have laid both a brown and a clear blue egg.

One of your other girls laid 2 eggs.

If she is laying a clear blue egg, then she can only lay white or blue eggs. Brown egg layers can only lay brown or white eggs.

In suzpyoung's case, she has a green egg layer which has the blue and the brown egg layer genes, so hers can vary on both the amount of blue and brown pigment.

I hope this makes some kind of sense. if not, someone else will fill in with a better explaination of the genetics.

 

See, I thought one of my EE's did this too. I was getting a beautiful green egg, and then they stopped, but then getting the same as I was before as browns. I got 5 green eggs from my new chicken freind in Rigby, along with white and dark browns, I want more colors, birds!
