I got a hen from someone and they didn't give me the breed. She is gray with a few white specks on her and lays WHITE eggs. I have another hen that is a prairie bluebell egger but she's inbred and most likely related to the hen who lays white eggs. I will get a picture later on but I keep forgetting to post this thread. Also I'm selling hatching eggs and I need to know what kind of breed she is so that I can actually sell those eggs. Thank you all in advance.
 
Backyard breeders often sell mixed breeds. If she came from a hatchery, chances are she is some type of Easter egger like Prairie Bluebell egger if she has a pea comb. They don't always lay blue or green eggs due to the fact that they are hybrids. Any color is possible.
 
Its hard to tell, If your goal is egg production does it make a difference?
the mixed breeds eggs are still same nutritious. !
I know, but I am doing hatching eggs, when people see white eggs they think white eggs are somehow unhealthy. I am looking to sell hatching eggs. I have blue egg and brown egg layers, but she and another white hen are the only ones that lay white eggs.
