charlottes egg

Charlottes first egg of the season, a lovely blue/green shell. Similar to a duck egg but smaller in size.
Just out of interest, anyone know what causes the pigmentation in bird egg shells to be different colours - or speckled come to that?
 
Scientists believe that shell colour - which does not affect the colour or flavour of the yolk or white - is determined by the genes, and say blue or green shells are frequently found in the Araucana chicken strain.
