How common is it for EE to lay white egg?

I don't even want to try and imagine the genetics involved in my much loved EE's but was wondering if others have seen this. Is the white egg gene dominant? She's a bit different as she's the first EE we've had with a sort of floppy comb. All the rest had rose combs.

Thanks.
 
Floppy comb? Maybe part leghorn? They lay white eggs. I know the blue/gree egg gene is a dominant one (at least that's what I have been told) I know several bycers have EE's that lay a brownish egg.... Can you post a picture of your chicken?

I don't have any that don't have rose combs but they have layed a couple white eggs for me when they first started laying.
Then the eggs quickly got blue as they layed more.
 
I'll get a picture when I get home. She looks just like other EEs we've had except for that goofy comb. I'm not complaining mind you, it's just sort of interesting.
 
I just found out today that it has been my EE laying the little white pullet eggs, not my leghorns.
