Our Marans have been laying a while and as their eggs are so dark I didn't notice this before, but yesterday one of our Rhodies presented us with her first egg. It's just a bog-standard looking light brown egg, but it has the 'normal' matt finish, it's only when I saw it next to one of the Gold-Top eggs that I realized that the Goldies lay really shiny egg-shells. Is that normal for some breeds?

Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

yeah perfectly normal - eggs are as individual as the chickens that lay them -
Our Copper Marans lay really dark eggs (if they can be bothered to lay!) the Cuckoo Marans lays coffee colour eggs, sometimes not much darker than the ex-batts, but it always has a sheen to it so I can tell the difference.
