me of the million questions again! This is my first foray into this area. I have a 3rd chicken just gone broody and I am in the process of organising eggs to put under her (I'm self building my flock so have no roosters etc!). I have already hatched some Araucana from eggs that were a fairly pale blue (under broody 1). I saw when I went back to the lady for broody 2's eggs that she had some that are very dark blue / turquise (gorgeous!). I'm not that bothered about having more of the same pale blue but if I could get some bright blue layers I'd be estatic! My question is - if I get a hen from a bright blue egg will she lay the darker colour or is it possible she would just lay the normal paler version?
