Here they are!!! Ordered 12 and received 16
The 1 pictured is only one with issues....I candled and it doesn’t seem to be cracked all the way through so will see how it does

Are these the melanistic eggs?

Yes....at least I hope they all are....most of them look exactly like my HG ringneck eggs

That's why I was asking...nutrition and environment have alot to do with egg shell color...mine lay a dark olive drab egg. Those actually look like regular ring-necked eggs?...except for the 2 light blueish/green tint ones? could be a trick of the lighting. Idk?

No trick in light.....I will look more closely and count when setting but over half were same brown color as mine some a bit lighter and only 2-3 including wonky shell one were greenish

Towards the end of the season I see a lighter pigment being laid down on the shell....similar to the two light blueish/green ones. It's like their 'running out' of paint. oh well, you'll know in 24 days...give or take a day!

I made it clear when I ordered that I was “referred “ by Zack through myshire link and I’ve informed and updated zack so he would be pretty stupid to try and screw me over as he will be risking major free advertising!!!!

I wonder if Mr. & Mrs. Karaoke could do this one tonight.

I love both of these songs but have never heard these versions before and holy shit!!! They are so much better!!! The guitar at the beginning of the first one is so relaxing. and the guy in the second one is hilarious plus sounds much better here.
