Determining egg color

[Guest]

Now that we have our wonderful egg color charts (thank you to all who put in all the hard work, talent & perserverance), has there been any discussion as to when/how we will \"call\" egg color? The maran breed determines color at the 12th egg, but size is generally determined at the 20 week.

Officially, other than \"blue\" egg shells the club has not and probably won\'t try to define any other criteria of egg color.
The Reference Chart is only a reference and could be used to reference or compare colors at any stage or age.  It gives us a common tool to use in discussing egg color.
