Brown Egg!

One of my quail has just laid a brown egg!!! Looks exactly the same as a normal quail egg with spots etc but the background colour is brown not cream. Weird. Anyone had this before??

My ranges eggs are usually browner than normal, I've also had white eggs with no spots, eggs which look greenish blue and eggs which you can see pictures in the spots (might just be with a fertile imagination )

Oh - mine's not that special then?

I dont think there's anything wrong look at all the different colours in this bunch (they're not mine)

My eggs vary a lot, but each hen seems to have her own style.

my vary so to from dak brown to light brown and even white with no markings at all

Here's a piccy

wow thats cool! looks yummy!! lol

Wow, I've not seen one that dark before. When you said brown originally, I thought you meant beige/brown. That's almost a chestnut colour

I haven't seen one that dark before - it looks like a sweetie eggs

Nah see - told it was cool!!!

Think my girls are holding some sort of competition - today's weird eggs (that's the 4th & 5th double yolker in a week!)

Wow thats cool

Neat eggs Suz!
