Crowing
Yah I’ve definitely seen darker shells but these are pretty dark, good thick shells too and no like speckles from thin spots. I do have a big halogen work lamp and I’m thinking of making a box with a hole in it for the next time I peek at the eggies, I can’t think of anything brighter than thatWelcome! I did Marans on my last hatch, but they weren't bred for the super dark shells (these were maybe 4s on the Marans scale, but did have very pretty speckling), so my cell phone flashlight worked well. I know some people on here have hatched super dark Marans eggs, so hopefully they will have some tips .
