Ya know, I'm really not sure. I think either a buff rock or a barred rock.... I have other breeds, but that is my best guess. Is there a particular breed that lays speckled eggs? I love them and would like to have more!

That first pic has got to be the roundest egg I think I have ever seen, round, but beautiful!

someone on ebay is currently selling eggs from a flock of (i don't know how many generations) of Welsummer/Marans/Penedesca mix birds. The eggs were gorgeous. I am very tempted.

My speckled eggs seem to come from my 2 Welsummers. Very hard to wash off. I've heard that it is fairly typical for Welsummers, but I'm not sure how true that is.
