I was having a discussion today and mentioned that you don't see the dark Maran eggs in stores. She insisted that all sorts of stores sell them. Now, I will freely admit that I don't pay a lot of attention to egg sales, but I certainly don't recall seeing the dark brown eggs for sale in a store, of course I know you can get brown eggs, just not that dark. Opinions?

 

[hcrossn]

I've never seen maran dark colored eggs in any markets, just the brown eggs. I read somewhere that we will start to see blue eggs in stores in the near future.

 

[lisa760]

That's what I said. I've now taken to looking at stores, not a dark egg for sale!!

I've never seen Marans eggs in a real store unless they were some of my own. I don't think you will either, since you can't "turn and burn" them like you can Leghorns or some of the other prolific layers.
