Can someone who has Mottled Javas tell me what color their eggs are? I have new pullets that are starting to lay. I have Buff Orpingtons, which I know thier egg color, then I have Mottled Javas and another breed I am thinking may be Marans that were put in my chick order to substitute for the M.J. I am starting to get a very dark egg with darker speckles on it. So I am wondering what color the Mottled Java egg is supposed to be. Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I guess I should post a photo of my mystery chicken and see what you all think it is.

Are the Mottled Javas a light brown? dark brown? More like a barred rock maybe?

And the MJ eggs I've had are a light/cream brown. They are most likely not the dark eggs. Where did you order these from and are the Marans you are questioning Cuckoo Marans or what color ?
 
Yes, I was asking about egg color, not the chicks. Sorry I didn't make that clear in my second post.

I bought the chicks from Welp Hatchery. I was supposed to get 15 buff orpingtons and 10 mottled java straight runs. But I got 5 mottled java and 5 of something else. We butchered the 3 roosters of the mystery breed as they were too aggressive for our farm.

Let me see if I can manage to put a photo of the mystery hens on here.
