Here is a link that lists the breeds and how they lay as well as the color of the eggs.. The legend of how to read it is at the bottom of the page.

Sorry Bodger, but must stick up for Marans

I have 3 Marans running with 1 cock and i'm getting 3 eggs every 2 days, Marans are known not to be great layers but they make up for that with quality of eggs.

I have 15 Light Sussex running with 3 cocks and getting between 6 and 12 eggs aday,



All the chucks were hatched in April 08, and are great birds

Thanks for the info, everyone.  I haven't noticed any change in their combs/wattles, but I will give their pelvises a check when I get them up this morning.  My guess is it's the cold here... still well below freezing at night here.
