Egg colors what Breed if Rooster?

[Heather67]

I’m looking to add darker egg color to my flock. I have EE hens, Turkens, and Austrolorps. Should I get a Welsummer or BCM Roo? My EE hens lay green and blue eggs. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

I would get a marans. They lay chocolate colored eggs!

Marans rooster, doesn't need to be specifically a black copper but find a breeder who is working on dark eggs rather than a hatchery, many hatchery birds lack the dark pigments. A decent Marans rooster will darken the offspring's eggs, with your EE each daughter will have a 50/50 chance of laying green or brown

Marans are docile and they lay dark chocolate eggs
