Speckledys and Welsummers lay around 280 - 300 eggs per year that are dark chocolate brown. Black rocks lay around 320 eggs per year and have slightly lighter eggs. People here love the eggs from my Cream Legbars (blue eggs) and Barnewelders (pinky brown) as well as my Welsummer x Araucanas (green eggs) but none of them are such prolific layers.
