White Eggs!!!???

[roj]

I have two young 10 month old Cuckoo Marans that I suspact may be laying solid white eggs. I this possible?

No.

What else do you have in your flock?

Do you have pictures of these 'Marans' we could see?

I have a 4 year old Golden Comet and a 2 year old but yet unidentified white hen w/splash of black.

I would guess the 2 year old is the one laying white eggs; do you have any reason to suspect it isn't her?

If you have anything with white ear lobes, she is laying the white eggs.

I am new to this but here is photo of hens eating some New Years party leftovers.

Comet (Lucy - the best hen on the planet!) is 4 yrs
White hen - 2 yrs
Marans - 10 months


I have, two questions:

What is the white hen?
Who is laying the white eggs (got some good replies)?

Well from the looks of it, your "Marans" have white earlobes. . . . What color are their legs? Are you SURE they're not California Grays or Barred Hollands or something?

The white one looks like a splash colored breed, but it should lay brown eggs. (It has red earlobes = brown eggs)

The Sex Link should be laying light brown eggs. Not white, but close.

I got the hens from a friend. He has been wrong before about this sort of thing. I am not sure of anything now.

I was not aware of the ear lobe color link to egg color.

Maran (?) photo.

She looks like a California Gray to me, definitely not a maran with those yellow legs.
