Oh boy, I need more help! The lady I bought these from has made a mistake in selling me the Wyandotte. I told her what the results you gave me this morning. She's freaking out and doesn't know which one lays a dark brown egg, the other (besides the Marans) was what she was trying to sell me. Can you tell from the pics she just sent me? She asked if I'd ask my people.One is a Cuckoo Marans and other a Blue Laced Gold Wyandotte
They both appear to be Easter Eggers!Oh boy, I need more help! The lady I bought these from has made a mistake in selling me the Wyandotte. I told her what the results you gave me this morning.

Do you see any dark egg layers in the 9 pictures?
Unfortunately, no. And cuckoo Marans usually lay lighter brown eggs than the other Marans varieties. They are a nice medium brown, but usually not nearly as dark as the hatcheries advertise. However, my cuckoo Marans hens came from Privett hatchery; it is possible that the Hoovers line is darker. Between the Marans, Wyandotte and Easter Eggers, you should have a pretty egg basket as well as pretty birds.
Do you happen to see a Cuckoo Marans in the last 9 pics? She's certain there is a dark egg layer in that group. She said I could keep the Wyandotte that she mistakenly sold me if she can't figure it out... I'm trying to help her... by asking you guys. Thank you for responding!
They appear to be pullets, but I don’t believe they are moran… look for black legs and feet,
The cuckoo Marans is the black and white pullet in the first 5 pictures. They have pinkish white feet. Not all Marans have feathered feet. (The breed is called Marans even when only referring to one bird.)
Is this the one? I've linked her (Abbie) to this thread. We appreciate your help!!!
