are ther any non-flighty white egg layers?

I like my hatchery spitzenhaubens, Yes they can fly up high, but as they mature they have made wonderful mothers and love to be around me and they are crazy looking.

Spitzhaubens are good looking birds. Are they good layers though?

The calmest white egg layers are probably the Dorking and Holland. The Polish and Houdan also lay white eggs, but I have found their temperament to vary depending on the strain. I have also heard that the old fashion "show quality" Leghorns are larger and calmer then their commercialized cousins.

Thank you Rhoda. I hope to pick up a couple of Dorking Pullets this summer. I had some on order from Murray but decided to go with a breeder closer to home and cancelled that order. I look forward to having them.
