Plymouth Barred egg color

[Alan]

I looked on the internet long enough, does anyone know what color of egg a Plymouth Barred lays? Brown or White?

Thanks,
Alan

should be light brown----If the hens "earlobes" are red,the egg will be colored,if white,the egg will be white..

look up the Murry McMurry Hatchery,they have detailed discriptions includeing egg color and size..

Brown

They lay light brown. If you want a darker color egg, go for rhode island reds.

All the eggs that come out of my "barred rocks" are various shades of brown and quite large.

Never really noticed the earlobes on chickens - not much on poultry though.
Learned something new today.

That has been my experience, too. Not too dark a brown, but all kinds of shades.

Speaking of the earlobe thing, I was looking at one of my chickens one day and noticed that her earlobes were a blueish color. I was feeling sorry for her, thought she had some kind of bad disease. Looked at another hen and she had the same thing, thought oh no, its spreading. Saw on Martha Stewart about the earlobe color and sure enough these hens lay blue eggs. Sure was relieved.

And if you feed them straight corn it makes the yokes alot darker and city folks wont eat them. JHH

Just let them eat grass and bugs will make the yoke darker. You're right about city people and yoke color. But in my opinion pale yellow looks pretty sick.
