Beautiful tan egg!

[Hlazysfarms]

Hello! I recently bought a mixed flock of birds and one started laying this beautiful tan egg color, placed next to a white for reference! It’s not a typical brown or green egg, just wondered if anyone knew what crosses or breeds would lay this color? It’s my favorite!
Thanks for any info, greatly appreciated!

Looks like a 2nd or 3rd generation easter egger or olive egger.
What do you have in your flock?

What do you mean by mixed flock?

Mixed with different breeds or with mixed breed birds?
Do you know what breeds you have in your flock?

Are these guys still around?

OEs. Your egg is just an olive egg with a slighter heavier bloom. If you want to "recreate" the egg, just breed more OEs.

Okay! Thanks! My roosters are just mutts but I have a variety of hens marans, partridge rock, australop, and then some greys and whites that are a cross of something I’m not sure what

I have some pure partridge rocks. But everything else is a mix of multiple breeds of any of these: black copper maran, amaracauna, australorp, speckled Sussex. Is what I was told when by the previous owner.
