I have a Welsummer pullet (hatched April 13th '20) that has been laying for 2 weeks. She eats high quality organic feed, free choice oyster shell and lots of fresh dark greens, veggies and fruit. Her eggs have a HEAVY bloom and more often than not, appear pink. If I wipe them clean they are still super light for a Welsummer but, does have teeny tiny speckles across the surface. The shells of her eggs are strong and the yolks are an average color and size. Has anyone ever seen such pale Welsummer eggs? Yes, she is purebred & she is from Meyer hatchery. The darker egg in the photos is from a hatchery BCM (wasn't expecting a spectacularly dark egg from her). Picture of pullets is about a 1 1/2 weeks before she started laying.
