Needwood (cream) Legbar

I don't know what this is...a breeder name maybe?
But a bird that lays a brown egg will never lay a blue one.
Here's are some tips about how to tell....

Thanks for that. Yes, I believe the 'Needwood' bit is the breeders 'add-on' but the chicken looks identical to 'Cream Legbars' as on BYC. I read somewhere that the first egg laid 'can' be very small or over-sized, double yolked or maybe even a neutral colour hence me asking.

Yes on sizes.... not on color so much.
Brown coating can vary, but not shell color.

There are only white and blue shells.
Brown eggs have brown coating on white shells.
Green eggs have brown coating on blue shells.
The brown coating can be very light or very dark.
Then the bloom can add another aspect to the egg color.
Pink/purplish eggs are from the bloom on a brown egg.
