Andalusians. While Blue is the recognized color, black is needed and a must when breeding.

Also splash. not all white, but neither is california whites.

Thank you! I did realize california whites are not technically solid, but honestly all the ones I've seen were so close you couldn't tell unless you looked really close!

White Rocks, White Cochin, White Jersey Giant, White Cornish, White D'Uccle

I didn't realize Jersey Gian and D'Uccle came in white!

 

[TashaFrancois]

This is a great idea. How about other colors of hens?

Isbar/Silverudd's Blue lays a green egg. Comes BBS(most prefer them blue).

I love the idea of a solid colored flock that lays a rainbow of eggs!
