Barred or Cuckoo white egg laying breeds

[LAFreewayChickens]

I'm interested in information about white-egg layers with the barred gene.

From reading on the forum, I get the impression that the Barred Holland stock that is generally available doesn't consistently lay white eggs, but sometimes more of a cream color.

Otherbreeds I've come across are Production Black/California Grey and Barred Leghorn (although these may all be the same thing).

Are there other breeds I'm missing?

I've seen pics of a cuckoo Leghorn. I'm not sure how available they are in the US, though.

Are you looking for Large Fowl or Bantams?
Production Blacks should lay a Brown to lightly tinted egg...

Cuckoo and Barred Leghorns I think are the same.

If you are talking about Japanese, then you are only going to find them in bantams, they, like Seabrights, Seramas, Dutch, dAvners, dUccles, and a few other breeds are called true bantams and have no Large Fowl counterparts of those breeds.
