Yep, mom was a from Ideal Poultry, she is a laying machine, not the best looking BR but a good layer. Not sure of the exact color of there eggs, they are brow but she did not say how dark.
They have a green sheen ALL over with some brown lacing mixed it. Very pretty birds! I almost kept them, but I was after the boys not the girls
I'd be super interested to find out if they are darker than the average brown egg! Is there any possibility you might be able to find out still?
And Merry Christmas to you!
