White egg with brown layers

Your Welsummer could be a Brown Leghorn, they are very similar in color. What color are its earlobes?

Yes that is a good possibility, I have Welsummers myself and they indeed look a whole lot like brown or partridge leghorns. And I forgot to say, yes do check the earlobes. Generally a white earlobe = white egg, and a red earlobe = brown egg, with the exception of a Penedesencas or EEs.
 
These are my chicjens

Now which chicken is a mystery.
All your girls look to be very close to laying.
My guess would be your production red or a barred rock.

You just about have to catch them in the act of laying to figure it out.
 
Good news is you Welsummer is indeed a Welsummer. And that egg is not white. Newly laying pullet eggs can vary in shade until their body's get settled into laying mode. Its going to be difficult to determine which its from. But given its light color I'd say its from the Red Sexlink.
