I suppose I will send pics or stop back by. She said she'd take the roosters back. They definitely hatched out of marans eggs. Nice dark brown with some speckles. Even the bird that hatched white came from a wonderful dark brown egg. She also has SL wyandottes, BLR wyandottes, Olive eggers, Wheaten ameraucanas, Buff orpingtons, black australorps and assorted silkies. Those are all the birds I saw. She let me come up on the same day I called and she just collected eggs from that day and I incubated them. Some of her birds were able to escape and were "free ranging" from their pens. We want the birds for eggs, so if we get brown eggs, we'll be happy. I wish the ameraucana had turned out to be a hen because a blue egg would have been nice. I picked up a couple of easter eggers (sold as ameraucanas, though they are not) to replace the roos, so we'll see what they lay.
Thanks for the additional input.
