What color eggs should they lay?

[MeghanFaith]

I recently got 2 pullets who should start laying anytime. They are White Leghorn and Maran crosses. I'm curious about what color egg I should get! I know the WL lays white eggs and I think the Maran lays a dark brown right?

What are the Marans crossed with?

Sorry I should have explained better. My pullets are a cross between a Golden Cuckoo Marans Rooster and White Leghorn hens.

If your pullets ear lobes are red then all their eggs will be brown.

If your pullets ear lobes are white or butter milk colored then all their eggs will have white shells.

TO MeghanFaith...The eggs will be cream colored/Off White...Dark Chocolate is not dominant like Blue, so the color will be between normal brown and white with a tilt toward white...Take care...
