White Eggs from New Hampshire's

[GC-Raptor]

Wonders if they are eating enough of the layer feed(and it's essential vitamins/mineral/amino acids)...with all that other stuff you are feeding them?

Heat can keep them from eating enough too,

What aart said.
Last summer was a scorcher here and feed consumption dropped as did egg laying.
I started to serve them wet feed made with very cold water. It worked they ate more feed and egg production went up. GC

Shells hard, no problem, just weird the change in colour, not a big issue but WHY? Sorry, one off those weird sods that try to make sense of the weirdness.

Thanks, Summers here are normally scorchers, american terms, pre-100 to 110F, used to egg reduction, wet cold food out off the question as I go to work at 05h00, all of this don't explain white eggs from North Hamphire's, will have to watch them and see if they return to normal brown egg layers with our cooler weather now, it's raining, BLISS

Have two New Hampshire's, not to sure about their age as I bought them as egg laying chickens ?(about 1 to 1.5 years I hope). They have started laying white eggs, not a big issue as they are laying but why the change. We have had a serious hot spell the last week but they have enough water, greens, weeds, kitchen disposables, peach peels, mango peels, laying pellets etc.

I have had this happen where the eggs are so light in color they almost look white, but when I put them next to my Leghorn eggs I can see the difference. Good luck and have fun...

At the Moment no, we (me and the chickens not as much) are enjoying some rain and being having to endure to 37Celsius (100F) plus as much as I enjoy the rain I am not going to take pics in the rain, chickens are hiding anyway, good for them.
