I bought eggs from Survivalseedsowers in Missouri via Ebay. The eggs I received were certainly dark - 8 I believe. I had a great hatch of vigorous chicks. As they grow now, we do see some SOP problems like a white feather in rear and purplish hue along with green hue. Other than that, theyʻre great.
I also got eggs from Jbar farms(ʻIhilani Coffee) twice. The first batch(blues)had eggs with a color of about 6. Second batch(blacks)had some huge dark whoppers at about 7-8 darkness. I hatched out 10 fat bubbles.
Iʻm pretty sure the survivalseedsowers eggs were a little darker, but the Jbar Farms produce chickens much closer to SOP. So if youʻre near West Coast, you should give Candi a call.
Take care, Puhi
