Egg Color

[ging3rhoffman]

I wanted to know which chicken lays the lightest brown egg to the darkest. I have a Buff orpington, a RIR, Silver laced wyandotte and black assies. I know the welsummer will be the darkest brown. Can anyone help?

Marans lay darkest,after are Penedesenca,Barnevelder,Wellsumers.Lighters eggs from my expiriens are Faverolles,Iova Blue,Turken.But depend of the line.

It's the Easter Egger mutts that hatcheries sell as pure Ameraucana and/or Araucana that lay many colors.
