The multilayer hard shell of the egg of a White Leghorn chicken is white. The inside is the same color as every other chicken's egg. The shell is white because the Leghorn does not have the color genes to have blue shells or brown applied to the outer shell layers.

A brown egg laying chicken has red on their head and they are considered an Asian strain.
You allow a white leghorn hen to mate with a white leghorn rooster. The eggs produced by that hen are then incubated for 21 days and a chick emerges from the fertilized egg. That chick will grow to be a white leghorn chicken.
The primary product of Leghorn chickens is eggs. Known for their high egg production, Leghorns are prolific layers, especially of white eggs. They are often used in commercial egg production due to their efficiency and adaptability. While they can be raised for meat, their main value lies in their egg-laying capabilities.

There shouldn't be white IN the yolk of an egg. The white should surround the yolk within the egg shell. The yolk (yellow bit) is what transforms to become a chick in a fertile egg. The white (albumen) is what the developing embryo feeds on.
As with all chickens, leghorns should be provided with crushed oyster shells, available at local feed stores, to aid in egg shell formation.
For egg laying, Rhodeisland, wyandotte, orpingtons, buck-eye, andmany others. for meat, mostlywhite leghorn.
White eggs come from white Chickens. Brown eggs come from brown chickens.
The incubation period for a White Leghorn chicken egg is approximately 21 days. During this time, the egg should be kept in a stable environment with consistent temperature and humidity levels to ensure successful hatching.
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)
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.
