some sites tell you alot about the breed but some don't tell you what color eggs they lay. I have a couple that i cant seem to find out lol and just happens they are a breed i don't have to see what color they lay...
Babcock White Leghorns?
Speckled Sussex?
Barred Plymouth Rocks? whoops i do have these but still pullets no eggs yet...
My second question is cornish and rock crossed obviously a meat bird but what color egg lol why do most hatcherys make them unable to reproduce?
 
leghorns-white
sussex, barred rocks-brown

The cornish will lay a white egg...maybe? Not sure

The reason that a cornish is not able to reproduce in some cases is that the males get too heavy to do what they need too, lol

The cornishX lay brown eggs. because of their growth rate it's unlikely they will live that long. They are a hybrid so they don't breed true. They are meat birds and not good for anything else. They tend to flop over dead or have legs give out. Its best to make them guest of honor for dinner at 6-10 weeks. Otherwise you're wasting good meat.
