Should GPO Eggs Look This Color After 5 Months

Post by johndo88 »

In February of this year I shot some video of a GPO on eggs. I revisited the same site last Sunday. I'm told by those that visit this site a lot that this is the same GPO. The link below is to a 16 second video (HD) comparing the eggs then and now. Do know that I was using LED lights in February and have since switched to an HID light, but still, to me anyway, these eggs don't look so good after five months. They were egg-shell white in February and more brown/green now.

For those of you more experienced than I, is this normal?

(BTW, I find it easier to come back to the forum if you right-click and select Open Link in New Tab)

Yes, that is maturation of the eggs... perfectly normal. :)
