I have an Easter Egger and 4 other hens. The EE is maybe 3 years old, we adopted her, so it's unknown. She had been laying beautiful green eggs consistently and then completely stopped. Our egg count has been pretty much the same though (I'm also not great at keeping track of this). I haven't seen a green egg in about 3 weeks, but today I saw her in the nesting box and decided to see what she had... she had a light brown/pink egg with white specks. Now this could absolutely be someone else's egg, but I got to wondering if this could be possible? She used to have an Americauna that laid the same color as her, but we lost her to a predator. Now she's surrounded by brown egg-laying hens... could this be a thing? I know it sounds ridiculous. I also don't know if she's been eating her eggs, I have found no evidence and no trace of green shells. She had been known to break them as she scooted the egg around under her.
Thank you for any help.
