Why is my chickens egg purplish brownish colored?

[Animals45]

sometimes at the beginning or end of a laying cycle egg color will change somewhat.

Really??

Could we see a picture?

If I take a picture it looks brown.

Generally somewhat darker at the start of a cycle and lighter at the end of a cycle - base color will remain the same.

Yes! I only have one Brahma and her eggs look similar to what you are describing. They are brown eggs, but Her bloom gives it a purplish tint.
@Brahmachicken240 do any of your Brahma’s lay eggs like described?

My Plymouth rock lays pink eggs, so it wouldn't be inconceivable that they could lay pinky purple ones.

Whenever they began laying I did get a few brown eggs with a purple tint, even had 1 or 2 sphere shaped eggs but now their eggs are brown in color and well shaped

A pinkish/purplish tint on light brown eggs is often due to the bloom/cuticle,
which can vary from day to day.
Have had both Lt. Brahma and Wyandottes lay pinkish/purplish eggs.
