folks, I need your help identifying eggs. You can see in my signature line what I have. I know what the palm eggs look like--but what about the spanish, bourbon, and narri? Can you post pix of eggs?

For the most part, turkey eggs look like turkey eggs and are not readily identifiable by variety. Sometimes I was able to identify my Royal Palm eggs from my Blue Slate eggs because to me my Blue Slate eggs looked like they had a little bit of blue speckling on them. I can often identify which hen my eggs come from because I observe them very often and normally each individual hen lays a slightly different looking egg. The differences are very slight and I often rely on which nest the egg came from.
