Looks like a silkie egg to me, but I have only seen the ones I bought to hatch.

SSH's lay whiteish eggs, not brown, so you do have a white egg layer in your flock.

so silkie eggs are white?...i know it couldnt be my pure silkie..cause the egg is usually in a top nest box...and she doesnt fly/jump at all...but..i do have a polish/silkie mix.....who is actually smaller than my silkie..but she roosts with the big girls and all...i didnt know silkies laid white eggs....but...if it is my silkie mix...its a big egg for her...she really is smaller than my regular silkie...

..i'm confused...

I have an EE who lays eggs that color.

I have an SSH too, lays the same color egg.

Most of the silkie eggs I bought (around 24 so far) have ranged from an off white to cream color. No where near the brown color my black sexlink hens lay.

i think i'm gonna bet on the SSH...because of the size of the egg...its to big for my silkie to lay, i think.......now....where is my little silkie laying!..lol...i cant find her eggs anywhere!...also, what color will a silkie/polish lay?..i cant find those 2 girls eggs anywhere...
