True Green Eggs

[Amer]

Really, where are you located? In Europe? I am in Nicaragua but I was raised in the USA that is why I like to help around here.

Oops just ignore my stupidity.

So I cracked them open. White. Well duh, the membranes are still on.
Then I peeled off the membranes. The eggs were white inside! I swear they had been blue inside before!
Or my eyes are just broken.

Thanks, this is what I am trying to document, we need more cracked Easter Eggers or Ameraucana crosses.

Pink double yolker vs. Cream large egg.

pink egg is on the right. My cuckoo EE pullet layed the pink egg.
I believe she did anyways, not 100% sure though.

Yep.
Also it was started late at night for most of us.

Really? It was started in the morning over here.

Oh my goodness. AM.
I apologize for that.

What I am seeing is that the brown pigment is permeating thru the egg shell and blending with the blue, it's just not brown painted ontop like most eggs I've seen. Perhaps all of the brown eggs do this to a point and then the brown pigment stops permeating and continues ontop of the egg shell.

I have a hen that lays green eggs every once in a while it is closer to blue and then once in a while it appears to be almost white but when you wash it is is green and then dries white drives me nuts

You aren’t crazy. Unfortunately I don’t really have any example right now, but I’ll check soon. I have high hopes for the Ameraucana Dominique bantam cross, not so much for the Ameraucana Welsummer cross.
I’ve observed that the dark dark layers have white insides while cream layers spread the pigment throughout, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a cross was the same way.
Egg color is definitely polygenic and I think one of the factors that affect outward appearance would be whether or not the pigment is only applied on top.
— you probably already knew that though.
I’d be interested in seeing replies as well.

on my eggs they are white on the inside brown tan or pink outside i will have to check my green eggs on the inside tomorrow i will let you know. I am waiting on my Blue Ameraucanas to arrive last order they canceled something went wrong and they substituted cream legbar I wont take substitute this time I will keep waiting

I believe that, at least on breeds that have an established egg color, not a white + brown = cream like one can make by mating a white egg shell breed with a brown egg shell breed

My Ameraucanas are molting or broody currently so there’s nothing to compare in the blue spectrum... but...
Here are my eggs.
You can clearly see a difference between green and brown, and white/light tint (Ancona pullets) even if the green is edging on brown.

My two green egg layers.
I’m don’t know if they’ve yet molted or not.
You can see that the layer of larger eggs (half Welsummer) also has darker eggs.

Thanks for posting, I was wondering if instead of pictures of whole eggs we could just focus on the inside of the eggs?
