What color eggs do Orpingtons lay?

[MoodyChicken]

Do they lay white? I thought it was brown. Ugh. I've been getting a mysterious white egg in the nest box recently. I do have an ancient leghorn hen, but I don't think she'd lay twice in one month... she's 9. lol. Her comb is huge and glossy though.

Big, brown eggs!

9 YEARS OLD?! God bless you.

Hm... then I suspect my old girl is back at it again! Bless her shriveled oviduct, she's still got some juice.





lol... rereading that sentence and I realize how odd that sounds.

Yup! But she's not my oldest. I still have one of my original chickens, she's 10 and lays exactly one egg a year.

Only in the summer time.

BO's lay brown eggs.

The white one would belong to your leghorn. 9 years old! Wow. And yes, that shrivelled oviduct ting is really funny

Woot you go old gal. That has got to be the leghorn's egg. The orps are all brown for sure.

Where is a pic of these two old gals you have?
