Quote: Ok, so I told Joe I would re-post this formula. And in reading it again, I realize I screwed up in my recollection of it Resolutions formula is a little more complex than what I remembered. Here is his post on backcrossing: Per Resolution, link...

Hi there, What medicine man is saying is that with Marans, crossing two unrelated birds from dark eggs and dark egg laying lines will often not produce offspring which lay the same dark eggs. It often causes you to lose the dark color in your flock rather than preserve it. It doesn't always...

woops, I just noticed someone was discussing it in the other thread. Well, anyway, if anyone knows anything about it I am curious.

I've got a question for anyone who knows anything about blood spots. I understand they are more common in dark brown eggs and some of my hens eggs eggs have them. I am wondering if there is anything to be concerned about. I know they are perfectly harmless in terms of eating the eggs. But I was...

Well, my pullets started back up laying in the last week or two. Finally, they are laying nice round, good sized eggs. Their first eggs in the fall were real nice and dark, but the puniest eggs I've ever gotten from my pullets. So they started back up and color looks fine and they are a great...
