Attention all egg enthusiasts and photographers! Does your flock produce the most beautiful eggs? They do? Well, come show off your skills and creativity by capturing the beauty and uniqueness of natural eggs from your favorite poultry, whether it's chickens, ducks, quails, or any other feathered friends. From the delicate speckles of a quail egg to the rich hues of a duck egg, we want to see your best shots!

To enter, simply snap a photo of your natural eggs and reply to this thread. The top entries will be judged by a panel of experts based on composition, lighting, color, and overall appeal.

The winners will receive some fantastic prizes, including bragging rights and the satisfaction of knowing that they have captured the essence of natural eggs in all their glory. So what are you waiting for? Grab your camera and get cracking!

The eggs can be from chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, quail, guineas, peafowl, emu, pheasants, or any other type of domestic poultry. Use as many different types together as you wish.

Oh!! Good to know that these are Maran! I have a hen who is our most regular layer with a very similar egg. Now I know that it is one of my EE with maran parentage. But which one…😂 At least it rules out my red sex link (Golden Buff).
Beautiful presentation and photo!
