Pic from yesterday of blue marans eggs. I have them next to some cacao pods I ordered. They are full of cacao beans that I now have planted to grow into chocolate trees

Well, I figured you wanted to know about the bantam breeds:

Left to right: Orp bantam egg, German Welsummer egg and Dutch Welsummer egg.

Wow, such a huge difference in egg color! Are breeders working on it, or is it not important in the bantams? Thanks for sharing, Ewe!

The German Welsummer Bantams, the breeders are working on it.

The Dutch Welsummer Bantams, imported not long ago, has been established and they said to keep the darkest eggs and keep getting to it for each generation, hopefully it would be as dark or terra cotta as our LF Welsummers.
