Aha! I discovered the mystery bird! It IS the blue Andalusian. The stinker has red ears, not white, which means she's mixed with maran! I'm so happy! Lol I paid a lot of money for Penedesenca hatching eggs so I could have dark brown eggs, but none of them hatched save one and she didn't live...
Hmm I have one out there that looks exactly like that one...the long pointy light brown...been getting them a couple days now. I'm starting to wonder if this dark brown egg isn't from my Andalusian? She came from a breeder who also had Marans. Maybe she is mixed. But she looks purebred for sure...
Yeah me either. My husband and I thought maybe a hen was mixed with Maran, but there is not a single sign any of them are mixed...no feathered legs or anything...so strange!
I have a single GLW hen that is breeder stock....anyway someone in the coop laid a very dark brown egg and she's the only one I can think of who could have done it. All I have is Orpingtons, Australorps and a blue Andalusian besides her...I thought they laid light brown eggs? It's a mystery.....
