Maybe it is different here. But all eggs from that one are off white. They are the only chickens in there. So.... natJ it looks at this stage as if they are all pea combs?

Here is a better pic. I personally can't see a difference. But I don't have a trained eye. I must say though. The mum is an egg production hen bred for commercial production barn raisingand free range purpose. Leghorn over rhode Island white. I'd say they lay over 300 eggs per year each. She...
