From the research I did while I was looking for good egg layers I found that Rhode Island reds are the best brown egg layers there are. The best egg layer of all times being the leghorn chickens that lay the white eggs.

∙ 11y agoI'm not sure, but my 4 RIRs lay almost white eggs. I originally bought 6 from a Craigslist ad, and there was one brown egg layer. When I took the largest 2 out to a friends farm (for getting too loud and aggressive), the brown eggs stopped. So I wonder if there is a smaller sport that lays much lighter colored eggs? I have also tried to find out more, with no luck so far. They all looked identical besides size.

∙ 15y agoRhode Island Reds are a very good breed to start with. Bought as day old chicks or pullets they are cold hardy and heat tolerant. Moderately early maturing this breed broods infrequently but once they do, they are dutiful mother hens. They are well adapted to free range but do not suffer from confinement and are quite docile and calm with the exception of the cockerels which can be quite aggressive. They are good duel purpose birds that can be used as layers for the first two years and then fattened up for the kitchen.
