@thehotmesshomestead: Marans egg color can vary a lot during the season, stress, even the weather! And even if you breed a really dark laying hen to a rooster carrying those dark genes, DOES NOT mean that the offspring are guarunteed to lay that shade. We of course hope offspring lays as dark or darker, but that's not always the outcome. #chickens #homestead #homesteading #farmlife
have you see the coffee egger eggs 😅 its the only time I have been close to impulse buying eggs

Exactly!! Our BCM laid this and she usually lays dark eggs. 🤣 talk about running out of ink. That bottom was nice and dark too! We always give disclaimers for our BCM customers!

You also have to be careful online. I was stupid & got eggs on eBay. They were the most beautiful eggs I’d ever seen. When they didn’t hatch I did a float test & the color came off!! The water turned yellow/orange! I did get them shut down & reimbursed but hard lesson to learn

This was a good video. I haven’t ordered any eggs but I did recently add olive eggers to my flick and had wondered why the eggs used to be dark olive green but are almost light blue now. I looked it up because I was concerned there was something wrong her. It was really interesting to learn about how chickens with darker egg colors produced that color and why they fade during the season.

I don't even know what kind of chickens I have, nor do I care what color eggs they are going to have. I don't get what the big deal is about the "pretty colors"... Can someone maybe explain to me why it matters?

A dumb question but, are people buying those eggs to raise those chickens or to eat?

people wonder why my rainbow egg cartons cost so much more. It's partly be because it's a lot more work/time/money to get fancy colored eggs.
