At home: Do hens get any better than this?

This was my egg collection from my hens today. I have a real mixture of rare and more common breeds. I also have incubators and like to experiment by breeding different coloured egg layers with others to get new shades of egg.

Two days ago I blipped my arcana X sussex cockerel. He and his hens were my cross breed experiment last year. His hens have begun laying these pale blue eggs. The white egg is from the pure breed sussex. The dark brown from the maran. The other I guess from a rhode island red x

Their yolks are very bright too. But thats diet related. They are on a corn, layers mix with high vegetable diet too. It all helps x
