You can see some pictures here if you would like: smallmeadowfarm.blogspot.com/2006/12/chicken-order.html<br />We have had Welsummers before also---they do lay very dark eggs. I heard that the Maran/Welsummer/Barnvelder egg color is effected by breeding/genetics and also what they eat. I hope genetically---mine will lay good dark dark eggs :-) I have my fingers crossed since I think they look FABULOUS dark like that.Dancingfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542161200214992918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-77750506986035320422007-02-05T10:00:00.000-05:002007-02-05T10:00:00.000-05:00Oooh, love the picture of the dark eggs!

I have two Cuckoo Maran hens (med-brown eggs, most of the time - that is, I can tell their eggs from my regular brown egg-layers) and I have two Welsummer pullets who are not yet laying. The Welsummers are supposed to have *very* dark brown eggs. What kind of chicks did you order?Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788698519554357312noreply@blogger.com
