what kind of chickens lay what color eggs

Post by amybyrd21 on Sun Sep 20, 2009 5:48 am

does any one know what kind of chickens lay brown, white, and the colored eggs. So far all mine are laying a form of brown eggs. I have one that is almost white and one that is really dark brown. I have a few chickens with blue legs and were told they will lay bllue eggs. Is there some way to find out what color they will lay?

I have Rhode Island Reds and Buff Orpingtons. They both lay brown eggs.

Iwas suppost to have all brown egg layers. But today we found three white eggs and one almost white egg. I have no clue what is going on. I am getting 18 more this weekend and they are already laying. So I hope i can keep up with orders. I will just keep the white ones my self if someone gets mad about it.
We have buff, rhode Island reds, some black and white chickens, and some solid black even their legs are black. I will try to post pics if i get a chance.

The Buffs and the Reds should be laying brown. Not sure about the others.

Yeah I know I am not sure about the others either. I orderd heavy breed brown egg layers and they are not brown egg layers. It doesnt matter with me as an egg is an egg but my coustemets like the brown ones.
