Shadowy lines in the egg shell??

[mrcman]

Hi Folks,

Some of my brown eggs, instead of being solid brown, have been getting darker lines in them. It has a road map affect. The shadowy lines are in the shell itself. The eggs still taste great but the visual appeal is gone.

Any suggestions? I would add a pic but the forum tells me I can't.

Hi Tony. I have brown eggs too and once in a while get some that look like that. I'm not sure why though. Mine get layer feed plus yogurt every morning.

Hi Peeps,

The eggs that are "road mapped" don't seem to be weak in any way. Have you noticed anything abnormal about yours?? Mine are free ranging, get Dumor laying pellets and also get oyster shell supplemented to them. Kinda weird...I think.

Yeah, I get those too, that's a great description! Nothing abnormal that I can tell, they still taste great! I mix layer feed with yogurt to give them extra calcium, they never cared for oyster shell.
