White Egg Layers

[BonnieBlue]

I have been looking at Ideal and Cackle hatchery sites, and so I can plan what breeds to add when, I was looking at white egg layers. All of the breeds that are good layers are listed as very flighty and not docile. Even breeds that are not Leghorns, and are comparable to good brown layers with a docile temperament. Are there any breeds that lay white eggs that are even kind of docile that would blend well with a flock of more docile breeds?

If not, how would a couple of flighty hens do with a flock of 6 or 7 docile hens? They will not free range, so I am trying to fit breeds together that will be confined to a run. A large run, but a run nonetheless.

All birds temperaments are up to them individually

Typically "flighty" means skittish with human interation, not with other birds. They are better at predator evasion but not typically the cuddly type but that can also depend on the personality of the individual chicken.

I have an Ancona with a mixed flock. She's my only white layer. She is no more skittish than my others and she fits in just fine in the group. I think she's pretty high up in the pecking order. She doesn't want me to touch her and I respect that (unless I need to do a health check) but she doesn't dart away from me or anything.
