These two are from a pullet that just started laying. Welsummer eggs are supposed to be terra cotta colored.

How can a chicken lay too many eggs?
There is a Welsummer club for the Brits they have great pictures of eggs and their eggs rival the Marans

granthamkk, still very light, but computer pictures are not always that great at conveying color
Personally I love the splotchy ones but I know that is not what most show breeders go for

Here is another pic of one of our eggs. They are what I would call terra cotta and have small dark speckles on them usually. They are not super dark, but aren't light either. In my eyes, they are the perfect brown, but again I do not show or breed. Just eat them
