Icelandic Chickens

I was shocked! If you look a couple pages back you can see the hens that would have laid it. A very elongated shape too!

I bet it's a double yolker. Congrats!

My Icelandics are my most consistent layers. They molt super fast too.

My Icelandic girls are finally laying, so I have a question for you experienced Icelandic folks: I know they are supposed to lay white eggs, but the ones I have gotten so far are a light beige color. Some people might call the white, but I have had truly snow-white eggs before (from my Andalusians) and would not call these white. is this normal, or are these not typical and not breeding-quality? Not really an issue since I unloaded my roosters last week, but still....
Thanks!

White/pale tint are fine.

The thing I've found different about mine, is they seem almost chalky feeling.

I have one hen that lays with a slight cream tint, all of the others are very white.
