Any Midnight Majesty Marans Egg Pictures?

[Ebz5003]

I am looking for egg photos of Midnight Majesty Marans (Hoover's Hatchery, TSC or Rural King). I bought one MMM because I wanted a dark egg layer, but my hen is not laying dark eggs. They are tan with the slightest bit of darker tiny speckling on them. I'm wondering if this is just an anomaly or if this is common. I was planning to get more in the spring, but I will look for another "breed" if tan eggs are what everyone else is getting as well. TIA!

The pictures show that the egg color is basically the same between by MMM and my Barred Rock.

I have two MMM's that I got from Tractor Supply last year ( so Hoover's Hatchery). One of them lays the egg on the left. It's much darker than the egg my Blue Copper Marans laid. My other MMM's egg ( not pictured) does not compare to this one in color; just med-dark brown with faint speckles.

Have confirmed that the light brown eggs are being laid by Blackberry- I heard the “clonk” just before she left the nest box. (Every day I add a little extra straw to the nests, and every day they kick it out again. So eggs go “clonk.”)

Here’s pics of Blackberry and May making judgmental faces at Blackberry’s egg.

(They’re judging how fast they can fit Thing In Hooman Hand down their gobs.)

Still, it’s a lovely egg!

It is! Blackberry’s a good girl.
