I just have hatchery orps, but they go from dark brown, to almost pink to whitish.

I'm not conplaining but I was expecting really brown eggs from my buffs but their eggs are different shades of cream and sometimes almost white like the house paint you buy called eggshell white.  Is that the norm for buffs?  I'm not that much interested in the different colors of eggs but just an observation.  Eggs taste just as good.

My Buffs are cream colored. Three different shades of cream.

We got ours from our Southern States. They said they get theirs from Ideal. All are doing great so far!

Mine were from Ideal.
They sent healthy happy chickens and all girls.
I can not complain about them.

Wonder if Southern States has a contract with ideal? A neighbor said since the local TSC supplier was Mt. Healthy it was the same hatchery

My girls have different colour eggs. Bella's mothers are brown Daisy's are cream and Bella's are a really light cream, almost white.

That's how my eggs are to. I got a really dark egg not to long ago. It was weird.

I just got a new buff orpington pullet, and a barred rock pullet. They are both around 4-6 months old. The Orrington's name is Ester, from the bible. The barred rock's name is Ruth, from the bible. Any Idea when that they should start laying?
