I have 3 Wyandotte Hens, 2 GL and a SL, I got one GL & one SL
they both layed pinkish eggs. I then got the other GL later . I had all these girls in my large pen with my cochin hens, my Buff Orp hens and my older RIR.
I always got pinkish eggs, my brownish eggs and a whitish egg. I always assumed the whitish one was my older BO, she has always laid a lighter egg, she is a hatchery bird.
I moved some birds around this week and put the GL girls in with my Houdan, Phoenix roos, some younger BO's and my Lakenvelder Trio.
Yesterday I go out to check and collect eggs and there is 2 smaller brown eggs from my young BO hen and a white egg

This egg looks to big to have come from my younger Lakenvelders, but is it possible for a GLW to lay a white egg?
