speckled eggs from BRs or BO's?

[crimsnchic]

One of my barred rocks and one of my buff orpingtons have been laying light brown eggs with white specks all over them. It is like their eggs didn't color all the way

Is this normal??

I hope this helps I don't have BR but I do have BO and my BO don't have speckels on the eggs.... but I could be wrong my birds just started laying and I haven't figured out who is laying what!!!! I have 3 different color of brown eggs!!!

Good luck trying to figure it out!!!

I went back and checked my eggs and I am getting a brown egg with very little white speckels on it.

I just got a weird, speckled egg today. You can see a photo on my blog and compare it with the "normal" eggs. Weird.

I always chalk (ha ha) it up to calcium issues, but I'm sure someone else probably knows exactly what it is.

Either breed can lay a speckled egg. The same hen can have speckles one time and not the next, too.

ok, that helps, I was hoping it didn't mean something was wrong nutritionally.

My BR laid an egg the other day that looked like someone splattered lavender paint on it. Really small speckles.

my BOs lay speckled eggs, but not all the time. They are very pretty.
