Which breed laid this egg?

[Hunnied]

I have a Polish and a D’uccle that have been seeming as though they’re getting close to laying their first eggs for a few weeks now (also have a silkie pullet that is the same age as the D’uccle, but she’s not really indicating that she’s about to lay - heck, guess she might be a roo, but doesn’t behave like one and hasn’t crowed). I found this egg this evening, and assumed it was from my polish, as she seems to squat when I approach her more than my D’uccle, and she’s been singing her egg song for weeks. However, after googling egg colors for the breeds for the millionth time, I began questioning whether this egg is white or a light cream color. It’s definitely not as white as the ones in grocery stores (I’ve no other white layers for comparison). I tried to capture the actual color best I could.

Size says it is probably the Polish that laid that egg.

That thought occurred to me, too. Non of my bantams have laid yet, so I’ve no personal experience to go from, only online photos. Think I need to do another search for D’uccle or silkie eggs with an object included for scale!
When I put the egg between one from my Wyandotte and something white, it definitely looks more cream.

I work third shift, so I let them out of their coop in the morning before my bedtime, set an alarm to check water and food and eggs and look for any signs of heat stress in the afternoon, and then I visit longer with them in the evening.

I didn’t try to peek at any of the suspect layers’ vents this evening, and am regretting that a tad now.

Regardless, I LOVE first egg days!!!

It's cream. Looks to big for a silkie egg and I'm not familiar with your other two breeds.
White eggs really come out white like the grocery store, I was amazed myself because i thought they cleaned them special to look so white,LOL. They say silkies lay cream to white but none of mine ever laid white like my leghorns(see pic) only light cream and dark cream.

My guess is the polish as well!

D’Uccles are bantam and lay light cream eggs, and polish lay white (so I’ve read, but these are my first of either breed, so I’ve not seen them myself). Looking at images of polish eggs, they do seem to be more cream like this one. It does look larger in the picture than it really is, I think. Maybe I’ve small hands? I’m guessing it was Frannie, my polish, who laid it.

I would learn towards your polish. I have three polish, two lay white as snow and the third doesn't look as white as the other two, but not as tinted as my cream layers such as silkie and bantam cochin

I agree, Polish. Here are my Polish and D’Uccle eggs for comparison.

Unless you have really tiny hands, that's not a D'uccles egg, especially a pullet's first egg. It's too big. I vote Polish!

Of all the images I could find via google, none were as perfect for my inquiry as this one; just what I was looking for! Thanks!
