HI, Very Cool,  beautiful colors Good Luck !...thanks Michael & John too, now that i have the color cards it is really surprising what color blue-sort of i really have. I remember mentioning to Jean about some eggs i recieved to hatch.  They were the bluest i had seen....The hens from them still have the most blueish color of my group but the cards really put it into prospective how not blue they are.

I remember hearing that true Ameraucana eggs are blue on the inside too. I have blacks from several sources and none really are that colored inside...but once had an white/blond speckled EE that really did have the same color inside and out....wish i still had her. eliz

In showing eggs, is there a desired weight & size to Standard eggs to acheive for showing besides color consistancy???
