Green white in eggs

[Bmxer883]

So first time cracking a egg open to find a green yellowish tint to the whites of the egg I don't think they smell but seems to be from the same chicken I think. We made sure they didn't float in water first.

I've read it could be what they're eating I'm just concerned about this cause we sell our eggs and if I tell people to watch for it I doubt they will buy them anymore.. plus I don't want anyone getting sick.

Here is a pretty easy article to understand the different shades of green in egg whites and their possible reasons.

Could be due to riboflavin. More info here: https://web.extension.illinois.edu/eggs/res04-consumer.html

Thanks. I'd say it looked in-between the green and neon green so I'm still unsure if it's just what it ate or bacteria

The article also says, if its the bacteria, the chicken will show signs of a respiratory illness. I am not sure how many chickens you have but since you are pretty sure the egg with green is coming from one chicken, you could sit at the coop and each time an egg is laid, crack it open until you get the green one, then isolate that hen for a few days, observe for respiratory illness, and if there are any more green eggs laid by the other hens (or the isolated one) during that time. It seems like you will need to forgo selling any eggs until you figure it out and this way it will only be a few days worth of eggs you don't sell. If you crack each egg into a bowl one at a time, then pour each non-green egg into a common bowl, you can find ways to use them for yourself.

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking too I have 14 chickens. Thing is the green eggs were from our stock in fridge that could have been month or maybe two old cause we have more eggs than know what to do with lol so we don't have them all dated good..

So the sickness could have came and gone for all I know but I'm going keep an eye out and do like you said. I haven't noticed any sick ones but haven't spent much time with them either since weather is cold.
