The darkest Egg....

[antiquebuff]

What breed of Chicken lays the darkest egg? Is it the Copper Maran, Black, Blue or Cuckoo Maran or the Welsummes?
Thanks for your help!

As far as I know the black coppers lay the darkest. Of course some lines will lay darker than others.

marans in general depends on the birds history. egg color is a bread trait, just like feathers

Penescendas and Marans.

Welsummers, no, they normally are not DARK like Marans but different ranges of terra cotta eggs.

There is a Maran's thread on here somewhere so you can compare. Do a search.

I'm glad you noticed it ElleyMae, because I was seriously about to start questioning the OP! It's the first thing I noticed!!!

Roosters aren't laid...
