How dark is a buckeye egg? I was at an auction the other day and they had some fertile hatching buckeye eggs there, they were real light tan, I was thinking they would have been alot darker then these eggs were, but I had no idea, so I thought I would ask here. I didnt stay long enough to see what they went for, sorry. I had forgot about them to be honest, or I would have stay longer. The sale was in DeGraff OH at Jackson Livestock Auction L.L.C..........
