My hatchery Cuckoos eggs were not dark at all. They could have been mistaken for a RIR egg. I got rid of all but one or 2 of them & am trying for something better. Sorry I spelled your name wrong on my last post to you. Jumping back & forth & trying to post pictures is still difficult for me sometimes..... I am determined to do it though. I tried to help someone else learn today too. I hope I did it right......LOl

Folks, I'm trying to learn to upload pics....so please "Bear" with me...oh-if this works it will be apic of a 10foot Brown bear that I guided to in Alaska..(I used to be a guide up there) I'm the good-looking blonde guy on the left!

Nice bear. My husband use to guide in Wyoming for Elk mostly. From the stories I've heard I think it was the most fun he's had in his life so far.

So this is the only picture I have so far of my hens. I know she's got too much melenizer (sp) but I love her all the same.

Here is my Black Copper girl that started laying at the end of last week.

Here is her egg between two Orp eggs.

try some lighting in your coop for 2 hours in evening ,,,,, in my experance it takes over 7 months from egg to egg

I would add the light in the morning. If you add it in the evening it will mess them up roosting. IMO
