Pearl Star Leghorns

[Wetninic]

Mine started laying a few days ago - light creamish white. Very pretty egg.

How old are yours? Will I tell the difference in there eggs. I have all light brown layers like buffs, austrolorps, rocks.....

They'll be white eggs. Any other color will be a result of the roo that mated with the hens, i.e., the 'light creamish white' that Wetmorechick described is likely a result of being bred with a brown egg laying breed roo. Believe me, I know from experience.

It depends on where they actually came from - that's where some of the confusion is - at least for me LOL I've been following this thread since the beginning.
Like Townline has them listed as Partridge Rock X Sussex which in my mind would mean brown eggs, but looking at their photos and description - white earlobes and "cream-white eggs".
I suppose you will have to wait and see. For them to be labeled "Leghorn - I would expect white eggs - but with all these crosses - who knows. (I'm not a genetics nor breed expert, so hopefully those that are will chime in). https://townlinehatchery.com/product/pearl-star-leghorn/

It's been a while since @Wetmorechick gave an update on their pullets. I hope they give us some news and photos in the near future

I would hazard a guess that the eggs would be tinted brown - now how brown, who knows! It will be interesting to find out - so post some photos when they come into lay
