Black Copper Marans Eggs

I wanted to share the eggs that we have been getting from our Black Copper Marans.  According to the Marans egg color chart, the eggs are currently about a 6-7 which I would say is pretty good considering the darkest color is labeled as a 9.  We are a work in progress and I hope to get darker eggs, but right now I love seeing the eggs we receive everyday.

 Egg color on the computer and in pictures is a little hard to take completely accurately so I tried to take a few different pictures to try to get ones that reflect the real color the best.

This is the Marans egg color chart.
