Those look porous, you can tell better when candled. Speckles on silkie eggs will be a tanish brown upon white, or tinted shell background.Hi all, I’ve been getting some eggs I think have faded speckles but I was wondering if it’s anything else? It’s not every egg but I see it every now and again. The ones laying are silkie crosses but I’m not sure what with. I just want to make sure they’re speckled and not poor shell quality
I've hatched porous eggs before, but those types of eggs don't always hatch. I think it might have to do with bacteria, but not 100% sure.
I’m asking mainly from an eating perspective. I don’t plan to hatch any eggs out for a while

Ah sweet, thank you so much! I haven’t seen eggs that noticeably porous from the outside before, I assure it’s from my girls just starting up. I’ve only had to care for old production leghorns before and their eggs were always great quality
Your ladies will work things out eventually.
It’s not every egg I had been noticing. There’s been some quite noticeably porous shells but I was seeing them more when the first three were just starting out. I had gone back to look at all the eggs more yesterday and most of the “speckled” eggs were from the first few weeks, those two I posted about were from this past week. I’ve had more start up so I think these ones are from them.
