Marans Egg

We got our first egg from the marans chickens we hatched earlier in the year.
The colour is meant to get darker when they get in to their stride then paler towards the end of the year.
The gasconne chickens (there are 4 of them) have stepped up production from 1 egg a day to 2 recently - although there were none today. I feel bad complaining about the number of eggs we get though - one of our friends had all her chickens massacered by the dreaded fox. V sad :( and a nasty clean up job.

Eggs from - Gasconne chicken, Marans chicken, the supermarket
