Silkie thread!

Hello everyone! I believe my Buff Bantam Silky pullet just laid her first egg!

Does anyone know if they are supposed to be white?

Silkie eggs can range from white to off-white (tinted) to light brown from my reading. In my experience, off-white to light brown.

Thank you so much for the information! I purchased my pullet from the feed store and could not remember what color the eggs should be. Thanks again

Mine are always an off white to an EXTREMELY light brown. I do have a mixed breed hen that technically lays brown eggs - and I have a hard time telling the colours apart.. I just hatched two 'silkies' that were not really silkies at all
