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 correlateswith 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 ather earlobes. In general, the darker the earlobes, the darker the eggs.Hens with white earlobes usually produce white eggs.

For example, chickens of the Silkiebreed often have blue or black earlobes and they generally lay whiteeggs.

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.
