No. You cannot tell the color of eggs the chicken will lay by the color of their feathers. I have green egg laying chickens called Araucana's and they are not green chickens. Brown feathered hens lay both white and brown eggs as do white hens.
Feather color is not an indicator of egg color, breed determines the color of the egg.
What else can I help you with?
Do big chickens lay brown eggs.?
Some do,of course, but it's nothing to do with the size of the bird it's to do with the breed.An indication is to look at the colour of the chicken's ears! If they're brown/red its brown eggs,white then it's white eggs.One of my hens lays bluey green eggs but her ears are unfortunately covered by bushy whiskers!
What is the significance of chicken leg color and egg color?
Leg color and egg color are only linked indirectly (by breed) and thus leg color cannot reliably be used as an egg color indicator. E.g. a Rhode Island Red hen (red/brown hen with yellow legs) will lay large brown eggs, but a Red Leghorn hen (also red/brown hen with yellow legs) will lay white eggs. In general, a better indicator of a chicken's egg color is her earlobes. (A chicken 'earlobe' is a round spot of skin just underneath the ear socket. It can be flabby or taut.) A chicken with red earlobes will typically lay brown (darker) eggs, where a chicken with white earlobes will lay white (lighter) eggs. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule. For help identifying a chicken's earlobe, see Related Links, below.

Do white chickens lay a brown egg periodacally?
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)

Is Isa brown a crossbreed chicken?

Why eggs are brown?
It depends on the breed of the chicken. It is a genetic trait. A rule of thumb is to look at the earlobe of the chicken, and that is roughly what the eggs will look like. The White Leghorn breed lays most of the white eggs. The brown eggs come from the Rhode Island Red, the New Hampshire and the Plymouth Rock. The reason brown eggs cost more is because the hens are a little bigger and tend to need more care. Plus there is the urban legend saying they are healthier, so naturally, stores will charge more since more people want them. Brown eggs are not any healthier than white eggs. Egg colors are not limited to white and brown. There are also blue and speckled eggs, though they are hard to find in stores. Those come from the Aracuna breed.

What age do brown chickens lay eggs?
Chickens, whether the chicken is brown, white, blue, red or, or... all start laying eggs when they are mature enough to do so. The average age for chickens to start laying eggs is 5-6 months of age. You will notice the wattle and comb begin to appear more red than pink as they become more developed and distinct. This is an indicator that the young hen is about ready to start laying. And brown chickens don't necessarily lay brown eggs. It's a common misconception. Brown Leghorns, for example, lay white eggs just as their white colored counterparts do. The color of egg the chicken will lay coincides with the color of the earlobe. A white earlobe = white eggs. Colored earlobe = brown or tinted eggs. Hope this helped!
