hmm, interesting. so each year they start of dark and go lighter by fall or is this throughout their entire laying age that eggs become lighter?

they start out dark and lighten each laying cycle. They'll redarken the following year.

Ah... so they are like Marans and Welsummers where the darker color is laid over the egg like a paint?? And during their break in laying, they 'restock' the paint department?

Do you have any or planning to get some? The appleyard person has some too. I might have to wait for appleyard eggs for up to 2 weeks, but I could get kayuga right away. I am hoping he can compromise. 3 kayuga and 4 silver appleyard eggs!

nope, I dont do ducks I just saw it and had posted it here for the duck ppl
