I'd call her a black sex link or a mix :3

Hmmmmm... Hannah came from Frey's Hatchery so I wouldn't think she is a mix but maybe...
I think she is a Black Sex-link.

Thats what I thought too. But can BSL's lay dark eggs? Not like Maren eggs but darker then normal
I have two one and one lays a darker brown colored egg and the other a lighter brown colored egg.

Ok. Thanks!
The thing with BSL is you don't know what the parent breeds used for them are - so she may well have dark egg parentage in the mix causing the darker colored eggs.
True True. If for instance a cuckoo marans hen was used in the original cross rather than say a barred rock. That would explain the darker egg.

Thanks! But would a hatchery sell mixed hens?
