The color of the hen's feathers has little to do with the egg shell color. A black hen can lay a white egg or a brown egg...you might even find one that lays blue eggs.
Actually, its the skin around the sides of the face (known as "earlobes") that correlates
with egg color. The egg color and the earlobe color do not match,
rather it is possible to predict the color of a hen's eggs by looking at
her earlobes. In general, the darker the earlobes, the darker the eggs.
Hens with white earlobes usually produce white eggs. Hens with red,
brown, or black earlobes usually lay brown eggs.
There are many exceptions to this rule, though. For example, chickens of the Silkie
breed often have blue or black earlobes and they generally lay white
eggs.

∙ 15y agoBarred Rock a variety of Plymouth Rock is considered to be a "good" egg producer. They lay light to medium brown eggs and are good cold climate chickens. You can expect upwards of 170 eggs per year over three years from a barred rock hen with some doing much better than that.

Are Golden Comet chickens and Red Star chickens the same breed?
Golden Comets, Red Stars and Cinnamon Queen are all red sex-linked birds. They are hybrids created by taking a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red rooster and crossing him with a White Rock or Plymouth Barred Rock, White Leghorn or another light hen. These chickens are not a breed - they are hybrids bred for egg production and the fact that the female chicks will be red and the male chicks will be white. The Golden Comet has a White Rock mother, in most of the references I found, and the Red Star will have a Plymouth Barred Rock mother. So they are similar but different.
