The Sussex and Faverolles may give you tinted/cream eggs and are great breeds. Both do well in colder climates. Shade of eggs can obviously vary depending on bird/line but I've seen some folks mention those as laying that color.

In my experience, Wyandottes lay a pretty typical brown egg. Very pretty birds, though.

My best tinted layers are my Austra Whites, which are Australorp/White Leghorn hybrids. Lighter brown than an Australorp egg and better layers like the Leghorns.

Good luck. Sounds like a nice mixed flock!

Silkies lay white to tinted to cream colored eggs. Sumatras lay white to tinted.

Easter eggers and australorps lay those colors to.

Easter eggers give a range of shades from pinkish, and blue, to brown and olive.

Austraoprs will give you cream and brown.

And out so called Cali whites are giving us light cream, somewhat white, and brown eggs.

You should definitely get a Speckled Sussex!

Agreed!

Easter Eggers! I want to get a few to get colorful eggs. Also, they add color with their varying colors of plumage, too!

Speckled Sussex are very pretty.

Austrolorps should be the #1 addition to your flock. Best bird you will ever own.

Salmon Faverolles are great
