Hey All,
Quick Question...So I have five hens who are all happy, healthy, and have been laying steady for about 4 months. I get anywhere between 3-5 eggs a day. Anyways, today I went to harvest some eggs, and there were small red freckles on the outside of two of the eggs. This isn't uncommon, as I know some eggs are freckled, but what was strange is that these freckles washed off when I rinsed the eggs inside? Why is that? What was this residue? Is that normal to have on eggs? I have searched the forum and haven't found an answer. Hopefully somebody knows? Thanks!
