Black Copper Marans egg. I originally started out with 2 hens. Holly who is still with me. She is a French BCM and has feathered feet and has always laid solid super dark eggs. Her daughters and granddaughters are the same. Feathered legs and solid dark eggs. Daisy who has since passed on was the other original hen. She had clean legs, a bit larger and heavier then her sister and her eggs were heavily spotted and bigger. Her daughter was Clover(RIP), Baby and granddaughter Corona. Like Daisy they are bigger then their feathered feet counterparts, have clean legs and lay larger heavily speckled eggs. My boys have always had feathered legs. It was not until Daisy's great-granddaughter Lilly came along a year and a half ago that the Daisy line got feathered feet finally. I love a speckled egg and Lilly's take the cake. Her speckles are more like blotches, she just has been sporadic laying this year or I would have set a Lilly egg under Raven as well.
they are so fragile those first few weeks. I am praying for Holly’s egg to hatch and do well. 
We love this thread too
