Egg Color Disclaimer

Marans are like a photocopier that eventually runs low on toner as their egg production increases during the laying season creating a lighter shade of brown, as well when resuming into laying. They will still contain the dark-brown laying gene. The color of the egg a hen lays does not fully determine the egg color the offspring will lay.  Egg color varies for every hen, even full-blooded sisters can provide different shades of dark brown.
