Are they lighter blue than the ones from your split lavs? Just testing my moniter. I thought the sun washed out the color usually, but you did a really good job with the pictures.

The wheaten shells (daisy picture) were lighter and a tinge greener than my split lavs. I can hold the egg up to my moniter and the egg color of the split lavs pretty much matches the photo. I'll post some more photos tomorrow in different with lights.

Been meaning to get a color chart-guess it is time since it is time to do ABC membership dues

Egg photos and color discussions are just always fascinating.

Oh I have to post mine they look like your pic cottagegarden they actually got bluer in the last month I upped their protein

I sent a check for $10 or something for 2 charts and never heard back.

I want to use it when I go to sell my eggs. Does anyone know where else to get one?

Well that stinks. Since you paid for them perhaps a friendly reminder is in order, sigh, we are all so busy this time of year..
Sometimes they have the Araucana ones on eBay, and their club probably sells them.
I dont know..this looks like too much work. I like the Marans 9 colors instead of all these-ha ha

Hope that doesn't happen to me I just sent 5 for one of them. I also hope they aren't as complicated as that araucana chart. The marans chart is easy I don't want to have to tell someone my eggs are between an A178 and a B543 ha ha. Well I hope mine comes anyway I think blue eggs might evan be harder than dark eggs each person sees blues and greens diffrently. Let's keep talking about this good discussion everyone!

I just got an email saying this thread was back up. Hmmm, guess I missed something? Oh well, I bet it isn't anything I can't live without.

Two quick points. On the neverending issue of "green tinted" eggs. There is an excellent article in the ABC Newsletter this past month about color testing your roosters. If you're getting greenish eggs, I highly recommend getting a copy of that article and looking at it.

Secondly, does anyone know how to download a bunch of pics on here all at once or is individually the only way once can do it?

God Bless,
