I know there is a great egg color chart...I also know that different computers show colors differently....So, being very new to chickens PERIOD, and never having my own eggs, I am asking those of you that have these multiple breeds or any of these ( RIR, BR and BO) to compare the eggs for color and size.. I am trying to inform myself (for when the girls lay), so, I might be able to figure out who goes with what egg. Thank you Dixie
 
Hi Dixie, I think it might be a very individual kind of thing, but as for my chickens, my BR's lay medium brown, large round-ish eggs and my BO, who is petite, lay's a very pale brown, more oval shaped egg. Sorry I don't have any RIR's.
In fact, I wouldn't call the BO's light brown, it's really ivory.
