White eggs

[Carson213]

I am very excited that I found a hatchery that sells pullets that lay white eggs. It almost seems impossible to find pullets that lay anything but brown, green, blue, etc...

I grew up with chickens that laid brown eggs...is it too much to ask for a chicken that lays white shell eggs?

I've never had a white layer either, just shades of brown.

Leghorns, polish, D'uccles and spitzhaubens both lay white eggs. Easy enough to find in any hatchery

Andalusians and Anconas also lay white eggs. Ideal has a Production Black and their own mix, an Ideal 236 that lay white eggs as well.

My white layers are California Whites.

I've had just about every combo of color egg layer out there. Personally I could care less about egg color. I look more into the other characteristics of the breed. Only thing I care about when it comes to eggs is size and how they taste.

If color is your priority then go for it and good luck.

I wonder if the OP is talking about started pullets rather than day-old chicks? Or mainly has experience with what breeds are ordered by local stores?

I agree that white layers are easy to find as day-old sexed pullets from any major hatchery in the USA.

Could be. They just said it was practically impossible to find white laying pullets at hatcheries
