Hollow the few welsummer eggs I've seen in person aint that dark. But people say that the good lines have dark eggs, so you'll have to find someone with a good line of them.  But your plan sounds good big_smile.png

The day after I posted about my chickens laying small eggs.  I started getting huge double yolk eggs every other day..

kinda cool

Who knew this would be come an addiction!  I currently have 13 hens and 1 large light brahma rooster. We also have somelittle ones but as I have learned here they don't count.  I have started building coops to Sell.  I have come up with a company name Olde Tyme Coops hopefully it works out!

My very first double yolked egg! 

 

ETA:  What could cause a chicken to have blue earlobes? Besides Silkies, I dont know of any breed that has them... My OEGB hen has blue and red earlobes. I know for a fact she has no Silkie heritage but other than that, I really couldnt tell ya.. If shes pure I want to get a roo for her and breed her but now I dont know... So is she pure and just different? or a mix?

The really weird thing about my hen is that she lays large sized eggs. They are the same exact size as a store bought egg. She is only the size of my Silkie who lays tiny tiny eggs. Is it normal for OEGs to lay large eggs?

Its so weird that her ears are two colors...
