I found two weird eggs in the roost area this week. One was a no-shell.....no big mystery there. But the other was odd-colored. It was medium brown on one half and light brown on the other. It was as if it had been dipped half-way down in Easter egg dye with a perfect demarcation between the two colors. Of course I forgot to take a picture and this morning I went and ate it so I can't show it to you, but somebody around here has an identical one in their avatar photo. What's the deal with this? How on earth does a chicken do that?!?
By the way, I'm pretty sure both of the oddball eggs came from my Australorp who's been laying for about two months. She's NEVER laid an egg outside the nest box before until these two. It's like she knew they were weird eggs and didn't want to waste her time laying them up in the nest. Maybe she's more clever than I give her credit for.
