We have two Isa Browns. One lays paler eggs than the other! I have always assumed that the darker eggs came from the bird with darker plumage, but perhaps not. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.
