I've never heard of this method before.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

I'm in Australia, I'm pretty sure silver and patridge are the recognised ones, not sure if gold is yetIn the USA, the American Poultry Association only recognizes one color of Welsummer, and that's the only variety the hatcheries sell. You 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.)
I've been using it for 6 years without fail, I kinda just discovered it by accident whilst look inside eggs haha, the only thing is, green or blue eggs are harder to tell because of the colourI've never heard of this method before.
Sounds like the OP isn't in the states and their terms don't match our terms.In the USA, the American Poultry Association only recognizes one color of Welsummer, and that's the only variety the hatcheries sell. You hen is not that color.

That would definitely explain how you have a Welsummer hen in a color we Americans didn't recognize!I'm in Australia, I'm pretty sure silver and patridge are the recognised ones, not sure if gold is yet
The shell color on that egg will not change what genes the chick inherits. So no, a chick hatched from that egg will not produce white eggs (except for an occasional one like that, which can happen to any Welsummer hen hatched from a normal color Welsummer egg.)if we hatch it will the offspring produce white eggs?
Did you actually see that happen? Like your not just assuming it because it was in the same nest or something?Oh and I got an Easter egger that changed her colours aswell, from cream to green
Not sure how your judging this but the eggs i‘ve hatched has not been accurate to what your saying. I had a orange egg which was not fertile in my most recent clutch.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
I've never heard of a gold, silver, or patridge Welsummer.
I immediately thought you could have mistaken it for a Brown Leghorn because Welsummers look very alike and the Leghorns lay white eggs.
It's never failed for me before, I've even put a white and yellow under a hen and they've never even grew, only the orange and red, so I'm just judging from experience that's obviously not as accurate as I thoughtNot sure how your judging this but the eggs i‘ve hatched has not been accurate to what your saying.
