I'd love to hear what others think is the neatest egg they've seen and which breed of chicken produced it? I'm impatiently waiting for my Marans, Ameracaunas, Cream Legbars and Isbars to start laying so I have some variation in colors in my egg basket. I especially love speckled eggs! Are any breeds known for that? Wellsummers maybe? :D
 
I don't have any colored egg layers I'm my flock, so usually all I get are white and light tan eggs (although my silkie mix recently started laying light brown eggs). I have one isabel bantam brahma that lays cute speckled eggs. She stopped laying in November when she started molting and I'm not sure if she has started laying again or not. I think she hasn't yet.
Anyways I've gotten all kinds of speckled eggs from her. White speckles, brown speckles, big spots, small spots. Every other day I got a different egg from her and I loved to take photos of the different eggs she's given me.

I hope that once she starts laying again she will continue to surprise me with a different looking egg every time.

Those are beautiful!
 
Mine are mostly brown with darker brown speckling, courtesy of my Jersey Giants. I used to get large brown eggs from my Barred rock, small white eggs from my two smaller girls, and blue eggs from me Easter Egger. This is the coolest looking egg I have gotten from one of my Jersey Giants:

You can’t tell from the photo, but there is also darker brown speckling under the white. It looks like a brown egg had white paint splattered onto it!
