The White Leghorn, or one of its many crosses, will normally come from a white egg, but that doesn't mean white chickens only come from white eggs, nor that white eggs only produce white chicks. White Silkies come from beige or pink eggs. White Easter Eggers might come from blue, green, pink or dark brown eggs. I've had several white, bearded chickens come from olive colored eggs.
The original color of a chicken egg is blue. Naturally occurring genetic mutation has eliminated the blue color (white egg) or added brown (green, beige, pinks, chocolate, speckled, brown). It's just the color of the shell and generally has no connection with the coloration of the bird other than some breeds consistently lay a certain color of egg - again back to genetics.
A typical clutch contains 4 to 7 greenish-white eggs.
white with faded brown spots
White eggs come from white Chickens. Brown eggs come from brown chickens.
Any colour
The color of the chickens earlobes is usually an indicator of what color egg they will lay. Red earlobes - Brown, Blue, or Green eggs Blue earlobes - Blue or Green eggs White Earlobes - White eggs
No. You cannot tell the color of eggs the chicken will lay by the color of their feathers. I have green egg laying chickens called Araucana's and they are not green chickens. Brown feathered hens lay both white and brown eggs as do white hens. Feather color is not an indicator of egg color, breed determines the color of the egg.
Yes. Feather color does not effect the color of the egg shell, breed determines the color of the egg.
Because they feed their chickens differently idkIt all depends on the chicken that is being used.For example white chickens will put out white eggs while colored chickens will give out brown eggs.
Top Hat chickens will lay white eggs only. Their eggs are mostly larger sized. Each Top Hat chicken should lay around 200 eggs each per year.
They give you chickens. White eggs give white chickens, brown eggs gives brown chickens and so on. Sometimes they turn into other gifts also such as a picnic set.
Free range eggs are not any particular color. It depends on the type of chicken that layed the egg. Our Gold Star Chickens lay beautiful brown eggs, while our White Rock Chickens lay brownish eggs. The White Rocks have a pale color when compared to the Gold Stars. For more information email us at: wilsonfamilyfarm.stuart@gmail.com
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)

If you mean in color - there are white and brown. If you mean breed ,then there are many,about 50-60 different types of chickens who produce different eggs.
