    Why did my Amauracana lay a speckled egg?

    It is a one-off, at this point. Typically they are a blue egg.

    Why did my Amauracana lay a speckled egg?

    I've been getting eggs from my Amauracana hens since Nov, but this is the first speckled egg. Any thoughts as to why? Is it possibly diet related? https://www.facebook.com/Jayce23/posts/10158259057315065 Facebook link as I am unable to figure out how to post a pic. Thank you in advance, Jenn

    I know it is late, but these birds are definitely NOT show quality. I am very disappointed with their chicks. I purchased Cuckoo Marans and Amauracanas. 90% female sexed.....actually they were 50/50 and I don't believe either set of birds to be pure. They were also infested with poltry louse...

    Cuckoo marans

    It is only the speckled egg whose provedence I am questioning. The birds are Canadian sourced, not sure if that makes a difference. My goal is a multi-coloured basket if eggs, and with that I am happy. If I dont get some of the rich chocolate brown eggs from these hens, can you suggest a breed...

    Cuckoo marans

    http://webstartsshoppingcart.com/shopping-cart/store/catalog.php?userid=140789&pid=146&op=display I bought them as Clean Legged Cuckoo Marans, sexed, from Beau Peep Farms. One of the four is a runt and another a cockerel. I am suspicious that a third is also a male. I also purchased five...

    Cuckoo marans

    Any idea if this is a weirdly speckled egg from one of my red sussex hens or if it is possibly a maran egg? I have three four month old pullets. Thanks!!!

    Could this be a maran egg?

    Not sure how to upload pics to a thread, but I have it on photobucket and my profile. I am wondering if this could possibly be a maran egg as my pullets are four months old. I also have leghorns, easter eggers and rhode island reds that have been laying for about a year. This egg is speckled but...
