Just posting photos of the eggs I collected for someone on a local FB yard sale site. Most belong to Carly and Aimee, but someone else laid one today that I'm not sure, just think it's not the porcelain hen's.

So pretty! Mine lay a lighter tinted egg. My Silkies lay the color of Aimee's egg.

Aubrey . . Are blue mottled an accepted color? I tried looking it up, but I just found that it said "mottled" without specifying color.

Haha no way. There isnt but about 8 or 10 blue mottled birds in the US. And never seen any from over seas. I started them and the dun mottled about 3 years ago. Aaron Johns got a few from me back then and is the only other person i know of with any.

The standard mottled are just plain ol black mottled, and theres not a whole lot of those.

I had a feeling just black mottled was an accepted color. Too bad since the blues are so pretty! Love my blue mottled rooster from your eggs. I have a test hatch that is 3 days along out of my blue mottled rooster over dun mottled, blue/split to mottled and black mottled hens. Very excited to see what I get!

Yeah youll get black mottled from some of those that can be shown. The black and blue averages out at about 1/2 of each. On the blue to dun, you can get 4. Blue, dun, black, and platinum.

D'Anver are clean legged with rose combs. D'uccles have feathered legs and single combs. There are other differences, but those are the main ones.
