WTB: DARK egg laying pullet/hen, Northern CA.

[jeremy]

Does anybody have a dark egg laying pullet/hen that they could part with? I'm looking to start my own Olive Egger project, the pullet/hen will be put under my BW Ameraucana roo to create some hopefully lovely OE/EEs.

I'm willing to drive in the Northern CA general area. If you happen to be in the Bay Area that's even better. I'll take any breed, as long as she lays a dark, dark egg. No, it doesn't necessarily have to be a Marans.

I'm willing to trade if your interested, I've got a bunch of different breeds growing out right now, PM me if this is something you might consider.

Thanks!

I'm considering a Welsummer or two from Concord Feed, but I'm worried that their egg color won't be that great because they're hatchery stock. I really want a pullet or hen too, so I can integrate her into my flock and get some dark eggs quick!

I had a Cuckoo hen that I had last year, she was flighty and had very poor egg color (maybe a 3 on the chart) thank you for your offer, but I'm going to have to decline.
