weird egg color

[1Frances1]

There are just two of us so we only have three chickens. My two black chickens used to lay a med brown colored egg. One of them is now laying a snow white egg and the other black is laying a tan egg. Is this normal or are they missing something in their diet?

Welcome. Pigment color does lighten up over the laying season. How long have they been laying? In months?

just since July for the red and since Aug for one of the blacks and sept for the other black. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't feeding them the wrong bugs. meal worms and crickets, mash and seed,grass and then whatever bugs they find in their acre

Do you also feed a ration and offer free choice oyster shells?
