My 4 chickens have been happily laying brown eggs one each per day for quite a while now and today in the egg box is a pure white egg and three brown???

I thought if the breed laid brown eggsyou always got brown eggs? what is going on?
I have amberlinks and bovan goldlines all seem healthy and happy

funnily enough my daughter nodded sagely and said "ahhhh yes that will be to camolflage it in the frost"

can anyone tell me if this is normal, I am new dont forget  :oops:

woory not ,,,,,,,,,, fed them as normal make sure they have oestra ,and grit .plenty greens .they do that sometimes just to be awkward .  mabsolutly nothing to fuss over   tell daughter she is right .its for hiding the eggs from santa         and thats a magic egg for her to eat

We get different shades of very light to very dark, but not had a white one from the POL's yet.  We used to get quite a few from the old ex batts thuogh, almost pure white!

No problem, she just forgot to paint it before she laid it  :roll:

aww dont you just love how the kiddies minds work

[chickychick]

whew that is a relief! was thinking all sorts, d4eficiency disease etc

I will top up the oestra just to be sure, as for the kiddies remark she is 17 but still kinda cute though hee hee  

she has decided she wants to be the one to eat it so your not far off she is still about 7 at times lol

thankyou for the reasurance everyone ... as always this site is invaluable!
