Hers aren’t much darker than than the RIR but they are XL. I was talking to her after her first egg asking if she was ok. Her first egg was a whopper. I still have it because I blew it out. It also is shinyCongrats on your girls’ first eggs!Your Olive Egger is beautiful. Very Welsummer in coloring, and I love her little tuft!
Do you happen to have any pictures of your Cuckoo Maran’s eggs? I’m curious how dark they get.

Thank you! That is one mammoth egg to lay, poor thing! It does just look like a medium brown, though the shininess is really nice!Hers aren’t much darker than than the RIR but they are XL.

Mine came from a local hatchery. I picked it up because I liked the coloring. Wast till later I found out it was a possibility of dark eggs. I would have loved chocolate brown, I’m happy either way.
I chose mine for the fact that they were autosexing so I could be assured they were pullets, but I absolutely fell in love with the cuckoo pattern, it’s beautiful!

Is your Cuckoo Marans as much of a ditz as mine is? Mine is always going the wrong direction and getting separated from the flock, and then she’ll come hopping after them in the most graceless way imaginable. She even did a somersault yesterday when she hopped off my hand, but didn’t stick the landing and went careening off into the forest
