Help
I think I’m going crazy. Lol
I have been getting tiny dark green eggs on and off.

Now two days in a row. BUT I have never had any dark green eggs before and no new hens added to flock???
I have a few that lay light green and one that occasionally lays a more blueish egg
Can the color of their eggs change
Or is Shirley playing a joke on me???
I asked her already too btw

When a "fairy fart" comes down the tubes, it gets the same amount of "paint" that a full sized egg would. So, if a hen normally lays a light brown egg, a fairy egg from her would be a darker brown.
A green egg is just a blue egg with brown "paint" on it, so a tiny green egg would be darker in colour than a larger one.
But also, yes, their egg colours can change! It's common that hens will lay darker eggs when they first start up, then the colour fades as the season progresses. Some will surprise you and perform that feat backwards--starting light-coloured and then darkening. One of my green layers, I swear she lays a different colour green every time. Sometimes even heavily speckled as if something gross spattered all over them.

My little olive egger sometimes lays different colours depending on the size.

My Olive Eggers sometimes lays blue eggs.

small egg = very concentrated colour
