What color eggs do Orpingtons lay?

[speckledhen]

I have one Buff Orpington that lays creamy colored eggs, not actually brown-looking. All my others lay beige to tan colored eggs, both the Buff and the Blue, sometimes with a pinky tint to it.

My BO just started laying a week ago, and hers are a very light tint, almost off-white.

Or perhaps they just look lighter in comparison to our bluebelle's egg (hers are darker, as she's a marans-based hybrid).

LOL

The gray Americauna hen on the right is my 10 year old chicken. She's the last of my first three chickens.

This is Jeckyl, the 9-year-old Leghorn. It's the best picture I have (not much, lol!). She's actually light brown, but she has white mixed in with her colored feathers. I don't know if she's a white x light brown or if she is just gradually becoming depigmented. She started off with only a few white feathers, but now she's about 50% white.

very cool pictures! i like the leghorn, she looks like she's a healthy old bird! same with the americauna, except a bit grumpy. LOL!

they look as healthy as ever!

Yeah, Ragie always has a scowl on her face. She's really sweet though. They're very healthy for their age. Jeckyl has recently been submiting even... she want's to be bred!

Buff Orpington's are brown egg layers. One of my RIR's which lay the same color of eggs as BO's, lays a light cream almost white egg. I think your Leghorn may be laying. How often are you getting the white egg?

Oops... I re-read your post and saw in it twice in a month.
