Favorite white egg layers?

[Shrader]

I'm looking to add to my flock.
I have plenty of brown egg layers.
I have several potential green-blue egg layers (fingers crossed!)
Now I'd like some white egg layers.
I'd love some strong birds that lay extra large white eggs.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

For lots of extra-large white eggs, the White Leghorn probably can't be beat. I have no personal experience with them, however, so I couldn't say how well they would interact with other breeds in your coop.

Most of the hatcheries have a white layer web-page with information on the various breeds available. You might look those over and find one or two that suit you. I've done that in the past and found that most of the white layers are either intolerant of cold, poor layers, or both. The exception being the Leghorn, of course.

Most of my white leghorns lay big tasty eggs!every day without fail!!they do miss a few around 20's degrees or less.but they are strong layers!!they are loud birds.they will be flighty and light on theyre feet.but if you get freindly with them young mine grew up as close pets.

I love brown leghorns too!!, Mine are smaller than my white leghorns,and lay smaller eggs.but these birds are AWESOME around predators.they hide really well due to thar outdoorsy coloring.They are even quicker on their feet.lol and not quite as freindly as my whites.brown leghorns lay white eggs also.didnt know if you were familur.

I have 8 white eggs layers ,being all leghorns,and i usually always have 8 white eggs in the nest daily.

I like the brown and white leghorns what other breeds lay white eggs?

Black Minorcas lay large chalky white eggs but they are awfully flighty.

Thanks for the tips, you guys.
I'll look into the Leghorns.

The only kind I have had are the white leghorns and if you get a show line they are very calm and so soft and fluffy and sweet and egg laying machines



There is silver gray they are very pretty

black, red, buff, light brown and dark brown


I am thinking the buffs are very tame too

I have two of the Ideal 236's - much like a leghorn I believe, also egg laying machines - they're very skinny compared to my other fat fluff ball hens!

I've heard they're not exactly white egg layers, but Dorkings and Salmon Faverolles are supposed to lay eggs that are pretty close to white. I've heard they're both nice chickens.

There is a member in here who lives in Alaska (sorry, I can't remember her name) who has Dorkings and her website says they lay in the winter if I remember correctly.

Both of these breed are on my "must have" list, but so far I don't have personal experience with them.
