I'm sooo not an expert on Golden Cuckoo Marans (or any Marans for that matter).however, all of the GCM eggs I have in the bator right now are pretty dark. Not Blackish,but wayyy darker than the ones you pictured. I did have some Wellsummer eggs come in that had quite a few light eggs in it,but still darker than most of the ones you had pictured. Similar to the second from bottom row.From what I understand you should breed a rooster from the darkest egg to the hens and keep the darkest eggs from those? Most people I've talked to eat their lighter eggs and sell or hatch the darker ones.

I have 4 silkies right now a little over a month old. I will sell you two of them if you want them.
If you want to make a trip to Kentwood to get them just call and let me know.(I am sending you a
pm with my phone number)
I have to go to the sale barn in Amite Tuesday morning if you don't want to come all the way
to Kentwood, you could come there to get them. It is just up HWY 51 from Hammond.
 
Hey Guru!! All the chicks from the GCM hatch that came out black are black & white barred. The one that came out all brown is dark brown and golden barred (Actually a beautiful bird) and one is gray & white barred!! I got one true GCM out of the whole batch!!

That stinks. You had about as much luck there as I did with the coronation/split sussex. I ended up with 1 coronation and it's a pullet. Most of the sussex I
were pullets and I imagine this was the first time ever that I was wishing for a rooster.
Hey, I just got finished candling my 72 guinea eggs and out of the 72...61 are developing and looking good.
Hatched ot both of the Turkey eggs yesterday. 1 Royal Palm and I am thinking the other must be a bronze.
Also went and picked up 10 Royal Palm poults today from a friend. Well I had my wife and son go get them. Sinus crap has had me in the bed
all dizzy headed this weekend.
Hopefully I will get my chocolate turkey eggs in this week. Planning on building some pretty good size portable pens and put the turkeys in them this
fall over the different garden spots. We have a problem with nutgrass and the turkeys will not only get the grass, they will scratch down and get the nut seed. So
maybe they will earn their keep.

Man, your up to your eyeballs in babies!! One day if you don't mind I'll have to get your way and check out all your animals!! We've been debating on getting turkeys!! That's really cool to know about nutgrass!! And to be completly honest I didn't have a clue as to what you were talking about till I googled it, but I have that stuff everywhere!!
