Are these eggs from the same chicken?

[KNelly]

My leghorn laid a white egg the day before yesterday and today I got a second egg that looks very light pink. Could her second egg be slightly tinted or do I have a second chicken laying? I have 3 EES that should be laying any day now.

purebred leghorns will always lay a white egg

EEs can be a cross of anything so could lay other colors

Sounds as if another hen is also laying

Here's the picture of the two. It was also in a different nesting box. Not sure if that makes a difference when they first start laying.

When they are in the light you almost can't tell them apart, but in different lighting you can see the slight difference in color. That's why I am confused.

Well, if they're hard to tell apart, they could be from the leghorn.

I can see the different tint, but I suspect that they are from the same bird. They are of such similar shape and size. I could be wrong, but I think they are both from your leghorn. My birds all lay various shades of brown but even then, from day to day the colour can vary a little for each bird. I never come in with an identical basket of eggs from day to day.
