Considering there are two SLW AND 1 RIR, logic would tell me the RIR would be the most different of the 3 eggs. So logic would tell me you are correct.
My RIR are suppose to be production ones from McMurray but I'm pleased at how dark most are with two being the exception. And Brooster my cockerel is getting huge. He is almost 17 weeks and brick is the perfect way to describe him. Almost like a body builder Rooster.
I was wondering about this myself. My hens will be 14 weeks this coming Friday the 11th. Which means they are approaching laying age in the midst of a season change. I'm wondering what will happen if I don't supplement light in a few weeks. Will they just go all winter without starting to lay...
Not sure about your weather either but it's harder for those like me that live in a basically tropical humidity environment because simply taking a garden hose and soaking down the run will only make things better for 5-10mins before it ends up much worse then it was. If you have dry heat you...
