Go to and hatchery website and select brown egg layers. You can tell from cross bred chickens by the color of the feathers around there ear canal. White=white egg, brown=brown egg. On our farm the best brown egg layers are Rhode Island Reds (production or heritage), Barred Rocks, and Moyers ( a breed by Moyer Hatchery)
