Dorking egg color?

[TurkeyMountainChickens]

Hi! I've seen it written that the Dorking is the only chicken with a red ear lobe to lay a WHITE egg - but I've also seen it that a Dorking lays a tinted or light brown egg. Anyone have experience (or even better, pictures!) to share?

Hi TurkeyMountainChickens

There are a few Standard breeds that lay white eggs and has the red earlobes. They are the Dorkings, Red Caps, Crevecoeurs, Lamonas and Hollands. Most of these breeds lay white to a light tinted egg nowdays.

All of our birds lay white to very faintly tinted pink eggs. I've seen some that are a pale beige, but that's about as dark as they get.

A lot of Dorkings lay an egg that really isn't white. Lightly tinted might describe it. A lot of Dorkings also don't have solid red ear lobes either. They are often streaked or brushed with white and as long as the white is no more than 1/3 of the lobe it's alright according to the Standard and the breeders.
