Keep a layer or trade a layer?

I have 4 golden comets and a white Leghorn. The leghorn is the only one laying but I rather have brown eggs. She nests in the coop and lays a egg every other day. I think the rest are close to laying would the leghorn teach them to use the nest I want to trade her for another comet I plan on keeping the rir.
So what direction should I go?

Why would you rather have brown eggs? Just curious.

Honestly, the new girls will figure out the nestboxes, without training.

I think you could go either direction.
Golden Comets are not RIR, but neither is the Leghorn.

I think a variety of colors is pretty in the carton.
They taste the same to me.
