Yes Greylock, her eggs should continue to darken up and you will start seeing lovely dark brown speckles. Of course diet, and water can effect the color but I think in this case its her young age.I have my first Welsummer hen and she just began to lay yesterday. She is beautiful but her egg is not as dark as I thought it would be. Will the eggs get darker as they get larger. I have a RI Red that is the same age and lays a much darker brown egg. I have the eggs pictured. The darker is my one RIR egg. I thought the Welsummer egg would be that dark or darker.
