Yes, I found the first one about 10 days ago.

She started laying when I posted this we are the first 2 it turns out only mother clucker was laying and in four days we got half a dozen but why aren’t they deep brown

The color of a Marans egg is hereditary. If the parent stock lay very dark eggs, the offspring will also. However if the parent stock lay lighter brown eggs, their offspring will also.
