2nd egg looks different from our 1st egg.....same hens?

[MckinneyTXBYC]

We got our 1st egg 2 days ago and just got our 2nd egg this morning.
Was wondering if it was from the same hen or not? the hen who gave our 1st was a red production far as we can tell.
How can we tell who is giving what? i know the red production is a month older than the rest of our sex links and sussex. do they all need really large red combs and wattles to be laying or not? Thanks

I would say that this is the same chicken. Mainly because you said your others were at least a month younger. I have a chicken who sometimes lays light brown and other times two toned and sometimes two toned with speckles. It's hard to tell who lays what if they all lay brown eggs. I know the difference between my BA eggs (she lays two toned eggs on a regular basis) and BR eggs. Both BR eggs look exactly the same. Generally, chickens will start squatting and their combs and wattles will because fire red. I would bet that both eggs are from your production red.
