The goose that laid black eggs



There is the folk story of the goose that laid golden eggs but what about black eggs? Black eggs are something dragons would lay. It's rare for birds to lay eggs with black shells and emus lay very dark green eggs. A goose has been laying eggs with black yolks and nobody knows why.      

This goose is from Hangzhou City in Zhejiang Province, China. The owner is a friend of a man identified only as "Zhu" who informed the mass media, claiming the goose laid perfectly normal eggs before but has recently been laying strange eggs with black yolks. The yolks didn't smell bad so it wasn't considered any form of illness. 

Some believe the bird was eating black mulberries which grows on the farm, and caused the black eggs, but Zhu doesn't think it's that. Worried about pollution being the culprit, certain experts come forward to explain it but the view is that this remains a mystery. 

If there's nothing wrong with these eggs, why are they this colour?
