Nice! I didn’t think Marans laid speckled eggs. I thought all Marans laid really dark chocolate ones. But maybe not. I know Welsummers lau speckled eggs too, right? They are known for it and some other breeds may occasionally but I can’t think any that do regularly like the Welsummer.

Hug, that’s really interesting. Did you breed for it or it just happens?? I almost got a Welsummer but didn’t. Maybe one day.
