I have two mottled Cochin bantams,a black silkie, a welsummer, a blue Andalusian, and a Partridge Rock that are all 24weeks old. I've found several different eggs in my coop yesterday and today. I need help identifying them.

Is the bottom egg as white as it appears in the photo? If so, that would be from your Andalusian. The speckled egg I suspect has come from your Welsummer -- especially if this bird was hatchery sourced - unfortunately not all of them will produce the lovely, dark eggs folks expect from them.
Time for a Butt Check!!
If you really want to know who is laying and who is not, which should narrow down your 'mystery'.
Vent Appearance:
Dry, tight, and smaller - usually not laying.
Moist, wide, and larger - usually laying.
Pelvic Points, feel for the 2 bony points(pelvic bones) on either side of vent:
Less than 2 fingertip widths apart usually means not laying.
More than 2 fingertip widths apart usually means laying.
My chicken like this lays baby blue eggs
I'm assuming she laid the brown egg with speckles, because it was in the best when she left..
