very strange! blue egg inside brown egg [pics]

[Anarchy82]

Now who came first, the blue egg, brown egg, or chicken? lol

Hm, good question... I don't know who would do the prank - I don't my friend is the type. And there's no one else here besides me. Besides, that would be pretty elaborate, don't you think? Who has that much time? ;-)
And the outer egg was dirty and I was handling it all over as it chipped away (only thing I can think of on that one).

Oh my gosh! I just realized: you are suggesting that I did the prank?!?!? Sorry, I'm a busy, busy person taking care of a large farm by myself, and doing a full time job, as well. So we have to rule out prank...

Just wondering why there is yolk all over the blue egg? Looks to me like another bird broke the brown egg while laying the blue there?

Maybe the hen sitting the eggs got frightened and laid in fright? Do you know what colour eggs she normally lays?

Very cool! Your chicken processed two colored eggs! I hope this doesn't lead to future problems like being egg bound or anything like that.

I'm sure the blue egg is dirty from the brown egg's yolk. It looks like an egg in another egg. Very cool find!

That's not possible, either, because she is separated from the other hens. And she lays brown eggs. I have sent this, with the pics, to the UT Ag department. Can't wait to hear what they say!

I really hope I get a response from UT's Ag school... I'll post it hear as soon as I do! It's just too weird. And, yeah, I think the stain is some kind of yolk from the brown egg - who knows? One of the many chicken mysteries (like where on this property are some of my hens laying???)

That is really amazing! I bet there was a complete egg, with yolk, between the brown shell and the blue shell.

I'm glad you shared.

A prank? Surely NOT! It does not look like it unless the brown layer suddenly dropped the egg on the blue egg. Sometimes DNA of the eggs would tell if it is from the same hen or not.

It would be most interesting to hear from the University....it is a very rare occurance!

I have contacted the local ag extension office and they were no help. However, they called me back and sent me to the poultry extension and I sent them an email with pics. I also sent one to someone at APA (American Poultry Association). Nothing yet, but I've only just emailed them this morning. I'll post when I hear something! Surely someone knows something, wouldn't you think?!?!
