Thank you! Those are Plymouth Barred Rock eggs! The bloom sometimes makes them look pink.

Pretty egg pictures for you guys... My friend hatched some of my eggs. The super dark olive in this handful is from the daughter of my Onyx olive egger with a BCM father. We know it's her daughter because Onyx is my only crested bird and the new pullet has a tiny crest. Now I want to hatch ALL of her eggs so I can have a layer this color.

I bought this chick labeled as an "Onyx Olive Egger" from a farm store in Colorado. She has white black washed legs with two or three feathers on a couple of her toes. Single comb that is black in color so far. Plumage is coming in mostly black with faint flecks of copper brown here and there. And just today I noticed she's developed a little crest!

Does anyone know what hatchery makes the onyx olive egger? I have never heard of them before and can't find them on Google. Do I dare hope that she's CCL mixed with French black copper marans? (That would be a really great mix) Or can you think of any other mixes that might make these traits?


Thanks!

GM, i get those pink looking eggs often as well, not sure which of my girls were producing them though, they come from a run where I have JG's, RR's, barred and plymouth Rock's..interesting contrasting color basket. Also noticed I get some "gray" eggs not sure which hens are laying them, however they are coming from the the run where I have the EE's and OE's

That's awesome to hear because I plan on hatching some of my Onyx OE eggs with a BCM rooster!
