Same chicken?

My EE does this! I ate her latest blue egg but here's a photo I took a little
while ago.

That's perfect! Thank you very much. I thought I either had a interloper or a hubby pulling a fast one.

So there's your answer. Process of elimination. Anything without the blue egg gene wouldn't lay either of those eggs. So they are from the same bird.
Sometimes pigment won't be applied consistently. That's where the speckling comes from.

It just seemed so weird to a chicken owner of five months. I've found that nothing's away's as it seems. Lol
Also I want sure if my hubby had pulled a fast one!!
I should have headed the thread 'Is this normal?'

I've had one of my older EEs miss putting on the brown coating before, all of a sudden. One day, she laid a yellowish green, the next egg was greenish blue, and she continued to lay eggs that colour for a while. I'd say it was a few weeks, but I didn't keep track of it, and this was a couple years ago. I know they were hers because she had a peculiar tendency of putting a huge deposit of calcium lumps on top of the egg. Pretty unmistakable.

Her "blue" eggs weren't speckled, mind you. And after moult, they were back to being green.

That's very interesting and helps a lot! Thank you so much!
