Welsummer layed a white egg??!

[BigBlueHen53]

It's simple really, if you put a light to the egg in a dark room it shows the inside of the egg, if the egg is white or yellow inside it won't hatch, if it's orange or red then it's fertilized

Cool! Noted, thanks! And this works immediately, on a fresh egg?

She's layed brown eggs before, plus I got her from a welsummer breeder so wdym? I was told she's a gold welsummer

She may be a Silver Welsummer, but I'm not familiar with them.

Where did you get her? She's not a Welsummer. She's also not what I was expecting to see. She's pretty!

The egg to the left of the whiteish one is more so the color a Welsummer would lay. The bird in question is not a Welsummer though.

She's got yellow feet, 5 points in her comb, and stopped laying for a couple months during winter, all of which welsummers do? That's what I've read ...

Yeh, even eggs a week old although the longer you take to begin incubation the less likely they are to form a chick

She's a gold, silvers are different, I have a silver and a gold, and a gold rooster. I'm hatching partridges, silver duckwings and golds

Sure, that's understood. Thanks.

I got her from a breeder in Victoria, she's a gold welsummer not the normal partridge, silvers are recessive, a partridge and a silver make a gold

Golds are made from the crossing of silvers and partridges, silvers have a recessive gene or something, I'm not an expert

As I said, I'm not the most familiar with them.

In the USA, the American Poultry Association only recognizes one color of Welsummer, and that's the only variety the hatcheries sell. Your hen is not that color.

I notice that a bunch of the people commenting are in the US, but if you are somewhere else you may have access to Welsummers in other colors. Or if you are in the US, maybe the breeder is working with non-standard colors (not recognized by the APA.)
