Yes, those two white ladies are NOT your white eggs layers nor are they Leghorn. They do appear to be white Rocks. One of my barred rock was an excellent broody.

As stated by others... the brown gal with white lobes next to them is a brown leghorn and one of your white layers. Your other white egg layer will also have white earlobes.

Some of your reds look like maybe production reds more than RIR. Let's see your Easter Eggers if ya can? Beautiful flock you got there!

Thank you. We sure love them, whatever they are. We got the Reds, Whites & the other two from Rural King here in Central Florida. They labeled the multicolored hens as an Americana. One lays a white egg & the other lays a white egg with a pinkish tint. Here is a few more pics.

Well, I just Googled brown leghorns... what a learning experience this is. We also Googled white Rhode island's. Regardless of what we actually have I'm glad that I posted & now know more about our chickens. Thanks everyone!

OP looks like your "Americanas" are your leghorns. I'd also guess your "leghorns" are white rocks. Their a real common feed store chick.

What color are her ears? Red ears mean colored layer and white ears means white eggs. If she has white ears and lays brown eggs that'd be a surprise!

Earlobe color doesn't predict egg color.
Start looking at mix breeds and you can see white lobes laying brown eggs. Or red lobes laying white eggs.
Legbars have white lobes and lay blue eggs. Silkies have blue lobes and lay white eggs now how odd is that?

@ChickenCanoe has a breed called Black Penedesenca that has white earlobes and lays chocolate colored eggs.

While that is generally true, there are a lot of exceptions to that rule. As @Redhead Rae noted.
Penedesencas and Empordanesas have white lobes and lay intense reddish maroon eggs. If birds of those breeds have red lobes, that is a flaw.
I posted the following list in another thread last year.
Blue egg layers have red lobes.
Appenzellers lay white egg and have bluish lobes.
Silkies lay tinted eggs and have turquoise lobes.
Yokohamas lay a tinted egg and have white lobes
Redcaps lay white eggs and have red lobes.
Phoenix lay white to tinted eggs but with red lobes.
Naked necks lay a very light creamy egg yet red lobes.
The, now thought to be extinct, breed of Lamona laid white eggs and had red lobes.
Fayoumis, tinted eggs, white lobes.
Crevecoeur and Dorking, white eggs, red lobes.
Sabelpoots, Japanese bantams, Nankins, Old English Games, Modern Games white eggs, red lobes.
Sebrights and Sumatras lay white eggs and have purplish combs.

You can see most of the color varieties of Leghorns on the following page.

Unlike some breeds that come in a variety of colors, Rhode Island Whites are a distinct breed from Rhode Island Reds, not a color variation of the same bred.

A friend of mine, Kelly Klober, author of Talking Chickens has raise RIWs for a long time.

I doubt your bird is a RIW because they just aren't that common. As was stated earlier, it may vary well be a White Plymouth Rock. They are much more common.
