I'm not sure who is laying the light tan/brown egg (bottom of my hand). Is there anyway this could be my EE hen? Do they ever lay brownish eggs?

It's possible.

What else do you have? I've heard of people getting a brown layer from a hatchery but it's rare. Most of the time, it's people who have an EE and breed it to something else who end up with a brown layer.

So I have 4 EEs, 3 barred rocks, and 3 brown leghorns... but I get 3 green/blue eggs, 1 light brown egg (?), 3 dark brown eggs, and 1 white egg (I believe 2 of my leghorns aren't laying yet) a day!!

And your brown Leghorns are definitely all brown Leghorns, right? Big, white ears for all?

Could it be that one of your Brown Leghorns may actually be a Welsummer?

All have big white ears, yes!

Hmmm... don't those layer deep brown eggs?

They are supposed to lay dark reddish brown eggs, but hatchery stock can lay average brown eggs.

I have a question about Easter Eggers is it normal for a 9 to 10 week old to not have tail feathers?
