Leghorn

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

Current flock = 12 Red Sex-Links and 1 Khaki Campbell duck that isn't laying yet we don't think.Where did we get a white egg? All we've gotten up to now is brown.

Well I would assume your duck if you think she isn't laying yet. From what I've heard, can't Khaki Cambells lay white eggs?

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.

I think your khaki campbell laid that egg. A red-sex link will not lay a white egg.

I've got 2 cats, Dyllen and Star. I have 17 chickens; 3 BLRW, 3 mutts, 2 EEs, 2 White Rock roosters, 1 RIR, 1 White Leghorn, 1 Red Star, 1 Golden Campine, 1 unknown hen, 1 Partridge cochin, and 1 Golden Polish. I also have 1 Swedish/Black Indian Runner laying on 8 eggs.

If it is a duck egg, the shell will be different to hen eggs; more "delicate" looking/feeling.

Now that you mention it the shell does feel different. Kind of like sandpaper. It looks as if we have our first duck egg.
