Thank you Birch Run!
Yes, my eggs are the same as the hatching eggs and my GCM pullets are laying that color. I think that's about a 3.5 don't you?
Your silver cuckoo eggs are giving you very nice color!
Appreciate you posting your birds and eggs. Great to see!

No problem, happy to help. I am hoping to darken up the shells in time. I have a silver X black copper cockerel that is also golden cuckoo patterned, the dark gold version and I will add him to the mix to see what happens. He is a very big boy too.
