Who is laying the dark brown eggs?

[joedie]

I have BA's, RIR's, NHR's, SLW's, BSL's, RSL, BO's and EE's. Of course I know what the EE's lay and the BO's lay a light brown egg. Other than that, I don't know who is laying what but a few are a pretty darker brown. Who do you think out of this bunch does it?

I think RIR.

joedie - what part of southern IN are you in. I'm in Evansville.

ETA- Nevermind. I see from your website you are in Washington. I've been up there alot recently. I got addicted to Dinky's. Nice donkeys by the way. We have a 12 year old burro from the BLM. Does NOT compare to your minis!!

My RIR lays a fairly dark egg, but the eggs I got from my red sex link were darker. So I'm betting it was the red sex link.

Both of my SLWs lay darker, smoother eggs than the rest...and they are slacking this Winter

I've got some BO's that lay terra cotta colored eggs. My BO's lay quite an array of colors from mauve to terra cotta. Probably because they're from a hatchery?
