I went out to collect eggs this morning and much to my surprise I got a purple egg!
I suspect it is from my Black Copper Maran because her "ink-jet" is all over the place! She is my only dark-speckled layer. The shape, timing & size are all hers. I think it has a very heavy bloom on it and once washed it will be brown - more like her others.
But what made the bloom so heavy this time? The only thing I "added" to their diet this week was a bunch of earthworms I found after a heavy rain a couple of days ago. I gave them as a treat one time. Could this have done it? I gave the worms to everybody, but this is the first "different" looking egg I've gotten.
I think it's way cool...I may have to keep this one for an Easter Basket!
