CONGRATS on the egg
Hi,
Congrats on the egg!
I have Silkie hens and they lay small eggs but larger than the usual Bantam egg, so yours is probably from the Silkie. The color I have been getting is more an ivory than a pure white. The best way to tell is to compare it to a pure white egg, such as one from a Leghorn.
I have never had any of my RIR's lay an egg that could be mistaken for white, they are always definately brown, even though some are lighter than others.
Hope she will set (she probably will)--good luck! Genie
