Our first egg was perfectly shaped, pale brown, with tiny red speckles, but from then on, we've gotten nearly daily a darker, uniformly colored reddish brown egg of the same shape and size as that first speckled one.
Yesterday, I got another of the pale, speckled ones. Is this the work of two chickens or merely one who's reproductive system is still trying to get sorted out and produces random differently colored eggs?
There are six girls in the coop. Here are their breeds and ages:
Golden Sexlink - 20 and 1/2 weeks
Giant Barred Cochin - 20 and 1/2 weeks
2 Ameraucanas - 20 and a 1/2 weeks
Partridge Penedesenca - 21 and 1/2 weeks
Sicilian Buttercup - 22 weeks
Thanks for any guesses! Sorry for no pics!
