How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Three yesterday, two today.

I think the egg on the left is from a Dominique, on the right from a Sussex.

So pretty, I love the little speckles!

How interesting if it’s one of your Dominique’s eggs, because my standard Dominique (Juin) lays a much lighter egg than the ones you have there. I guess they must vary a lot! Here’s a picture I’ve posted before (her’s is the light one):

The Sussex started laying first, and the eggs were a light brown. Then I started getting darker eggs, some with speckles, and I figured they were from the Dominiques, since they're 6 weeks younger.

Probably so! I just found it interesting :)

From the results of a google image search, it seems like their eggs can easily be the color of yours or darker, but can also be very light like mine. I just would have thought a breed that had been around so long would have a standardized egg color.
