getting white eggs?!?

[ccarver80]

So my chickens started laying finally! I have 27 chickens and the oldest 2 breeds (17 weeks) to start laying right now are my red sex link and white Plymouth rock.. looked up both breeds and they are "brown egg layers. today i got 2 white and 1 brown??

My only thinking is the white plymouth rocks are actually leghorns??? what are some differnces?

My second batch who are only a week younger than those are Black sexed link, speckled sussex, and RIR.

Pictures would help. Are your white hens small compared to your other breeds? Leghorns have white ear lobes. White rocks don't have white ear lobes.

That looks like a leghorn due to the white earlobes. White earlobes = white eggs from what I've gathered from this forum

Your White Rock is a White Leghorn. Leghorns are lighter built and have white earlobes. The two breeds are nearly impossible to tell apart when they are young.

Earlobe color is a generalization. Legbars have white earlobes, blue/green egg. Rocks have red earlobes, brown eggs etc. many breeds don't lay eggs that match their lobes.
