I hatched out some Trader Joe fertile eating eggs. The birds are white and lay huge white eggs daily. They look a lot like leghorns (maybe a bit fuller in the body) but are not flighty like leghorns I have had before. Pretty sure they have some leghorn in them but what else i don't know. These are just nice birds to have about.

Lamonas and hollands both are a decent sized and fuller bodied bird than a leghorn and they lay white eggs. Both have some leghorn in their background. You were fortunate to get some fertile eggs to hatch after they were cooled for sale. Keep the best and a male and keep hatching your own. Try to keep at least 2 different males and not get too inbred. Good luck.
