But have you ordered from them or know anyone who has?
Eggs look a bit greenish to me, but hard to tell from a pic.

No, just found them on an internet search. Don't know anything other than that.

The specks do not wash off. They are as much the color as the specks that are on my Maran eggs. So the darker brown Maran egg is speckled, it’s more calcium deposits rather than just pigment in the shell color. The other two are more shell color and do not wash off. The Isbar eggs are more green than blue but they are speckled.

In 75 years of off and on chicken raising, I have never seen a truly speckled chicken egg, where the "so call speckles", would not wash off! They are truly a surface phenomena, and part of, or mixed with the water soluble natural coating of the egg shell.

You break the egg and observe the inside, to determine the exact color of the egg shell itself!

Granted, I have not tried to scrub the speckles off of a robin's egg, but maybe I really should give that a try as well!
