I am wondering what breed to get for white eggs

I am wanting a white egg layer, and wondering what breeds people would advise.
And even sell?

With my experience, Leghorns!
:Large white eggs
:Heat & cold hardy
:Very sweet (in my experience at least lol)

What I would recommend depends on where you live (climate) and how you wwill house them.
If you are in a warm/hot climate, I'd recommend one of the Mediterranean breeds like Leghorn, Ancona, Minorca or I raise Penedesencas.
If a cold climate, my favorite is Jaerhon. Other choices would be Holland, Lakenvelder, La Fleche, Dorking, Crevecoeur.

The following breed selection charts will tell you all you need to make your decision.

And Leghorns come in different colors too!

Do all leghorns lay pure white eggs?

Polish most bantams lay white eggs.

Same. I have 50+ hens and am getting about a dozen a day. My leghorns have been laying right through the winter while others sit it out. They are also some of our sweetest, though I know that's not everyone's experience as some can be flighty.

My pearl star leghorns lay creamy latte colored eggs. White leghorn eggs are pure white. May be other colors, but these are the two leghorn varieties I've had.

I also suggest leghorns, I have 3 brown leghorns, they lay large white eggs.
But I also recommend Appenzeller Spitzhaubens, they lay white eggs too. I love this breed, they are quirky and friendly, medium size and very reliable layers. The eggs slightly smaller than leghorns. If you can find this breed, you might consider them. Where do you live?
