Waht are these purple spots on my eggs ?

[Nemmi123]

Never heard of this 'wash'.....but it kinda makes sense...do you have any more info on this(like a link to other anecdotes or a scientific study?).

@Nemmi123 Not sure if you noticed this is a very old thread,
but would be glad of learning something new.

It was something I found some time ago when searching the same thing. It stuck in my mind as all my eggs had different wash, colour/patterns on them. I soon noticed that I got those same coloures/patterns regularly. And then began to notice which hen laid which colour/pattern (when I observed a hen go in to lay and then collected her egg right away). It was great. Especially when wanting to collect and incubate just a particular hens eggs. Try it

Am well aware of different patterns/speckles/etc that can be caused by one or more of... pigment, calcium deposits, bloom....just never heard of this 'wash' thing so was looking for some documentation(rather than anecdotes).
It's not mentioned here, which is pretty thorough...
