Would you like egg pictures on the Peafowl Image Database?

What do you call this, is it just "soft-shelled"?

It is not on the chart that Kathy posted so I don't know for sure. It is obvious that that the shell process did not complete in that one spot, it is not damaged. There is only one two year old hen in that pen so it may be a first time layer. Part of the shell was very thin. All eleven eggs I got tonight were fine, some were mudballs, but they all were normal.

Anyone have any idea why some are cream color and others are pink?

This egg not only did not complete the shell process, but the inner lining was not complete either as you can see the inside is leaking out. There has not been any eggs laid in that pen for three days now between the four hens that are in it. Most likely the three or four year old hen was the only one laying and is now taking a break. The other hens are only two years old so perhaps they haven't started yet. Oh, I take that back, I have found two eggs on the same day, so at least two have been laying.
