what color eggs do D'anvers lay?

White... But mine don't lay chalk white... Very slightly off white.

thank you, i have 2 bantams that are close in age one mutt then my D'anver and i am trying to figure out which is laying, and who isnt yet
but i am worried that they might be laying the same color eggs

 

[Alaskan]

Yep... I have the same issue.... I can't figure out who is laying and who isn't.

Oh..if it helps.. D'anver eggs are pretty elongated. My bantam Ameraucana and Wyandottes lay fatter more round eggs. The d'anvers and d'uccle lay elongated eggs.

Dang... I looked through all of my photos and I do not have a good one... Also all of my girls are slowing down with laying.... It might take me a few days to get a photo.

Yeah, those D'Anver males can think they're all that and a box of cracker jacks. Aubrey goes pitbull if I bring a camera or a phone around him. His son, Spike, is not as well, dumb, as Aubrey is. Spike will fly to my arm if he thinks I have food in my hand, but if I don't get scratch out of the jar fast enough, he'll nip me to hurry me along. I've had some really mean ones-all the nasty one were named Rusty. I had a really terrible one out of the original batch and he was Rusty. Then there was Rusty ll and Rusty lll, etc. Aubrey used to be meaner than he is now, but he's mellowed a tad in his older years-not much, but some. He still is dumber than a box of rocks. Spike is quite a bit smarter than dear old dad-must get that from mama.
