Get one similar to number two in row two, though mine has a more solid background, not speckles, and my others lay darker eggs. Have a hatchery girl who lays a pink egg. Ill try to get some pics.

I have never gotten any Delaware eggs dark like that. I get different kinds though ... pinkish, beige-like, spotted with purple freckles, and then the plain tan one (on the right in my picture).

I like them all. I wonder though, why they vary in color like that? Also, is it ok that mine are a darker color?

 

[kathyinmo]

I think they come in a very wide variety of colors and shades. I have noticed that my younger layers have the freckles and later on they lay more without them, or fewer of them anyway..

I have one girl that lays a darker, almost tan egg, but it is not that dark. Mine are more Kathycolored.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the line they come from?

One of mine lays a pinkish specklend egg -and the other almost a mauve purple like egg -

Thanks for posting...I definitely can see the pinkish aspect compared to a plain ol' brown egg. They would enhance the egg basket for sure.
