Looks like one of my silkies when she lays!I do, I got her as a hatching egg from a local backyard hen enthusiast. She hatched out of a very dark brown egg, so I’m assuming she’s half marans. The father options were, death layer, olive egger, or ayam cemani. After seeing her eggs and her markings I believe she’s a marans ayam cemani mix! Here’s a screenshot from a video I took of her todayView attachment 2492423

This is a fascinating thought. The rest of her egg is almost impossible to crack. But I notice her eggs do crack at the swirl sometimes. Never thought about it being something to do with the actual swirl being less sturdy. The rest of the egg certainly makes up for it. Once cracked the egg is sort of weird inside. The whites are more like jelly and don’t really stick to the yolk. Very weird egg!
I have 8 girls and 2 boys!
Yeah. It's funny we have the same amount of silkie ladies.
What colors do you have?
6 white hens.
