I think we need a picture of Austra. Black Australorps lay brown eggs. Anywhere from creamy tan to medium dark brown.

That being the case, I'm beginning to wonder if my Cinders, identified as a Blue Copper Marans on a forum here is actually something else entirely. Only reason I wonder is that everyone says Marans lay extra dark brown eggs, but hers are light brown or creamy white, often even lighter than my red production and black star! She's not as prolific as the other two - I get 5 or 6 a week from them, but only 3 or 4 from her (she was also the last to start laying). If anybody has an opinion as to whether or not she really is a Marans I'm happy to know. (And yes, I know that Copper Blues aren't an officially recognised Marans breed - I'm not in it for the looks, I'm in it for the chooks!

)


An early photo - shortly after I got her as a point of lay chook.




More recent - fully developed comb etc.

Not sure what she is but wow she's a pretty bird.

We got 4 today from our Red Sex Links. There were some weeks when we would only get 3. Today we found out why, there was a hole in the bottom of the pen and the eggs fell out then got covered up when the girls kicked straw out of their coop. The dogs enjoyed the eggs!

 

[Jesusfreakmir12]

None! for over 4 months now!

3 March: 5 eggs
4 March: 7 eggs

One day in the "can" was enough for one of the broody Faverolles. The other is spending her second day in there. She headed back to the nest this morning after treat time.
