Colourful and Unusual Chicken Eggs!

[FlyingNunFarm]

Got this oddball today. It's the second one like it. Very textured where the color isn't right. Not sure how she accomplishes this technique.

Now that is a funky egg!

My Amberlink lays large dark brown eggs... Sometimes they really make me think of Marans eggs!

My Barred Rock lays tan eggs, and they're typically large...occasionally extra large (she too, has given me a double yolker or two).

My Silver Laced Wyandotte lays light medium-sized eggs usually, if not always, decorated with white speckles all over them.

My Production Red lays modest brown eggs, usually on the smallish or medium side, but when they're not that size, then they're huge double yolkers!

And my Black Sex Link lays smaller or medium-sized eggs as well, and they're a modest brown somewhat similar to the Production Red's or on the darker side, but most, if not all the time, they have spots or speckles on them...ranging from lavender to dark brown almost like a Welsummer's.

A few of my BSL's beautiful and unique eggs up-close:

My BIGGEST bird, a cuckoo marans, laying my smallest egg. I thought it was my welsummers first eggs at first... speckled all over but after three weeks they’re getting smoother and slowly getting larger. None of my previous girls started this small! She has laid an egg every day for three weeks, though. Good girl! She is just a hatchery line from Ideal Poultry but I’m pretty impressed with her egg color and she is quickly becoming my sweetest he. These were some of her first, more speckled, eggs in the carton photo. Put next to some leghorn eggs for comparison.

Ask and ye shall receive! Haha I had a lot of fun chronicling this...and this way I won't clog up this thread with my wild ramblings about the most creative chicken I've ever met! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-will-babette-lay-today.1265352/

Great thread!

I got this beauty yesterday. It had a little poo on and when I went to wipe it off the speckles came off. Even where there wasn't poo. Wherever I wiped the specks came off.

Those dark chocolate colours are amazing! The white are nice too. They’re pretty but are also good for making comparisons.
It’s nearly spring and we’re likely getting some marans.
