    Are you sure its white or a very light tan? I have some eggs that I think are white until I put them next to a true white egg. Hope you figure out your mystery!

    paint sprayer... you funny gal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ok, it's the fourth off white egg now. it MUST be May, my rescue. I dont think she was laying then a week or so ago I watched her get into the nest and plop out this tiny tiny little specked egg. thought maybe it was her first or her last.

    The tiny one in the center is hers.

    now all of a sudden the wierd ones. hm... dunno. maybe she ate to much snow?????
