I understand that age, season, and general health all affect the amount of tint that shows up on an egg. But I have an EE that only started laying a couple of weeks ago, and the variance of tint in her eggs seems to go against established laws of nature. Yes, I am that guy wierd enough to watch my birds go into the nest box, go out immediately when they exit, and date, time, and name of layer on each egg. This particular pullet has given me an egg green enough to roughly be called olive. And what I call sea foam green. And one that was a true sky blue. Most have been the seafoam green. All this in the timeframe of just over two weeks. Impossible? From what I've read, yes. From what I experienced personally? They're in my fridge. If I didn't see the chicken go in and come out, and collect the lone egg immediately, I only noted the day of laying.
