So I currently have a Welsummer and a Cuckoo Maran (both from a hatchery) who recently have started laying. From what I have read both should lay dark brown eggs. According to the hatchery I got them from “Marans lay the darkest eggs of any breed“ and Welsummer are know for “the production of dark reddish brown eggs.” However, I am getting one light brown egg and another darker brown egg that is speckled so I’m having a hard time figuring out which egg is coming from which bird? Any ideas? Originally I thought the speckled egg was coming from the Welsummer but the more I try to look up stuff about them the more I’m unsure.
