One of our red hen's (red star, mixed linage) eggs are getting lighter each time she lays. This is unusual, because she's a young bird (only a year or so) and has until now laid dark eggs. The difference has been very noticeable.
Also, she has been showing signs of weight loss. Thin breast, bony. However, she has been eating and getting a proper diet and plenty of water. And has not been exposed to any sick birds. Could she be ill? Or is there another reason for the weight loss and change in egg color?
