Quality BCM?

[CoopsNPoops]

I seen the other day someone judging what BCMs were good quality or whatnot.. can someone point me in the right thread maybe? I'm not finding the thread now. Ill post a few photos here just incase. I had to use flash in poor night time lighting, so they aren't photography quality, lol. They came from a hatchery (Cackle), so i don't expect them to be of the highest quality, but interested in opinions. Good breeding stock?

Thats ok, i wasn't expecting much and am not offended at the least. I do plan to breed first gen olive eggers in the near future, so i wanted opinions on whether i needed to start with new hens or not. Of course im not looking for show quality so to speak, but i would like the darkest of eggs. These gals' eggs tend to not be as dark as they could be, and most are speckled with dark spots.

I believe that @chooksman is the one that does the judging as he breeds them, but I am not sure if he is active as I think that I was reading old posts. I’m not a good judge of quality but she looks much better than others that I’ve seen

Hopefully someone there can help you.
