Choosing Chickens That Lay White Eggs

What breed of chicken lays white eggs? There are several popular white egg layers on the market, including Anconas and Andalusians. But for max egg yield, you need the White Leghorn chicken in your flock.

Leghorns are lightweight and offer a great feed conversion rate, so they are an excellent choice for farms that are seeking to maximize their profits. This is the most popular commercial layer on the market.

Our Pearl Star is a relatively new hybrid, but they are quickly gaining popularity among poultry lovers. They are active and friendly, so they are suitable for a backyard flock or homestead. 

Brown Eggs vs White Eggs

A common misconception about chickens that lay white eggs is that their eggs are not as nutritious. Egg color has no impact on the nutritional content of an egg, however, your hen's diet and lifestyle are directly tied to the quality of the eggs they lay. For more nutrient dense eggs, we suggest allowing chickens to free range or live on pasture. This helps them supplement their diet with insects, grubs, and foraged greens.
