Why egg bottoms dark?

[itreycee]

Hi! I wish I had some pretty eggs to show but I need to know if anyone has ever seen the egg bottoms do like mine? It's not all of them, and it's not all the time. The girls are on the younger side but they've been laying for about a year. They are in a wooden coop with shaving for a nest. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!



They have been scrubbed and sanitized it just looks like they are a little thin maybe?

their just darker spots, nothings wrong with your hens, they just sometimes throw a little extra pigment in some spots.

Oh ok thank you!! I was a little worried. I appreciate the feedback.

Yup, no worries. One of our hens will lay a spotted brown egg (light brown with dark brown spots) one day then a dark brown one the next day. (Shes a bit of an oddball, lol) Oh, and don't freak out if you gt an egg with some crusty (like egg shell but not smooth) formation on it, its just extra shell calcium, its no prob
