Large Breed that lays White Eggs?

[Naamahbengals]

Hi everyone - what are some good suggestions for a large or extra large sized chicken, that lays white (no brown) eggs? I'd like to add some size to my flock without adding brown egg color genes to my lines. But it seems that all the biggest chickens lay brown eggs!

Off the top of my head, I'd say Creve-Coures, Houdans, or maybe Hollands or Faverolles.

Or hey, have a look at Henderson's Handy Dandy Chicken Breed chart!

Dorkings are a good, dual-purpose breed that lay cream colored/white eggs.

Minorcas are the largest of the Mediterranean breeds (same class as Leghorns) and lay large white eggs, however they have very large combs which are targets to frost bite. Also, the Minorca isn't the meatiest breed because it was bred for egg-laying.

No white egg layers are especially large or meaty. White egg layers were mostly bred for high production and good feed conversion, which means smaller birds. Mincoras are probably your biggest options.
