Best Answer

Brown eggs come from hens that are mostly brown such as Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island. White eggs come from white hens such as the white Leghorn.

Another view

Feather colour is not actually a good indicator of the colour egg the hen will lay. Breed of hen will determine the colour of the egg shell. Black Cochin hens lay brown eggs, white Ameraucana hens will lay green shelled eggs. It is believed the colour of the feathers near the ears of a hen is an indicator but that too is not always reliable.
