Welsummer small to medium, sweet natured, lay dark reddish eggs with spots
Or Black Copper Marans sweet, medium to large, dark brown eggs (they do get lighter during the season.
Olive egger a mixed breed, usually good natured, olive eggs
Easter egger small to medium mixed breed, usually sweet, blue, green ( or occasionally)tinted eggs
