What breeds of chickens lay the really dark "chocolate" brown eggs?
McMurry doesn't seem to carry any. Any suggestions as to where I could get some pullets? (not straight run)
A well known breeder of marans claims if they don't lay the deep dark eggs they are not true marans.
I've got a hen from Illia and she has just starting laying eggs and they are SUPER dark.
My hatchery marans didn't lay any darker that a regular brown egg layer. I bought some BCM's from a good breeder and was shocked when she laid her first brown egg. SOOO dark. I would say hatchery birds would be a waste of time.
