This answer has NO definite answer, because the darkness of the egg layed varies widely depending on the quality of the birds lineage. These two breeds lay the darkest -

  • Marans (The Black Copper color is the most popular with darkest eggs)
  • Penedesenca

Barnevelders and Welsumers once laid very dark eggs, but the breeds have since declined and typically lay lighter eggs than what they were once known for. Some bloodlines still lay dark eggs.

Do white chickens lay a brown egg periodacally?

The feather color of a chicken does not affect the color of the eggs she lays. It is the breed of the hen that determines the egg color. A chicken that lays white eggs does not drop a brown egg every now and then either, a white egg layer will always lay white eggs. I have several white Araucana hens who lay Lavender colored eggs and a Black Cochin hen who lays light brown eggs (not black eggs)
