Welarans, Welsummer x Marans

[UncleChuck]

Has anyone with this cross taken photos of the eggs they lay?
I set 7 or so Welsummer under BCM eggs for my starter flock last year and only one cantankerous male hatched. I've always been curious about what his sisters might have laid, if one type of speckling was stronger than the other, if the different sets of brown genes would work with or against each other, etc.

Blue copper Marans hen and wellsummer rooster hatched two late summer and have a gorgeous blue roo and light blue hen with darker splash, she hasn't laid yet but anytime, can't wait to see what she lays, her mom doesn't lay super dark though

I used him over my true blues to hatch some OEs. The pullets gave more marans type speckling then welsummer. The pink and brown eggs are from a different pairing added just to fill the incubator.

He wasn't very nice and it wasn't exactly his fault because his boy parts were gigantic. I got about 5 or 6 cockerels from that first clutch and selected the one who would step onto my arm to replace his daddy. Hopefully the next group to mature will have improved blue.
