Any colour
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)
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
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.
Chickens that lay different colored eggs such as brown, green, blue or pink are no different then white egg laying chickens. A chicken that lays different colored eggs will have different colored skin, but that's it.
Yes. Feather color does not effect the color of the egg shell, breed determines the color of the egg.
Welsummer chickens lay dark brown eggs. If you have a bird that looks like a welsummer but lays white eggs its probably a brown leghorn.
NO they don't
they are just like chickens...... they can lay different color eggs
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
a regular chicken- all chickens lay brown egges! No, not all chickens lay brown eggs. There are lots of breeds which lay white or creamy-white shelled eggs, and a few which lay blue or olive-green shelled eggs (Araucanas, Ameraucanas & Crested Legbars). Among those which do lay brown eggs, there are variations from breeds which lay light brown eggs (sometimes called 'tinted'), through various shades of mid-brown, to a few breeds which lay very dark brown eggs: Marans, Welsummers & Penedesencas.
Yes, chickens lay unfertilized eggs.
Chickens, whether the chicken is brown, white, blue, red or, or... all start laying eggs when they are mature enough to do so. The average age for chickens to start laying eggs is 5-6 months of age. You will notice the wattle and comb begin to appear more red than pink as they become more developed and distinct. This is an indicator that the young hen is about ready to start laying. And brown chickens don't necessarily lay brown eggs. It's a common misconception. Brown Leghorns, for example, lay white eggs just as their white colored counterparts do. The color of egg the chicken will lay coincides with the color of the earlobe. A white earlobe = white eggs. Colored earlobe = brown or tinted eggs. Hope this helped!
