Are these two chickens the same breed?

Ah, that makes more sense. I was confused for a second!

I have an EE that lays light pink but I know it's not common. My other EE lays green and sometimes blue

To get a color between your marans and the Andalusian the BR or RIR would hit in there, medium brown not necessarily pink though. I think my RIR lays an atypical egg, they are pretty light with white speckles. The Black Australorps lay a super pale pinkish cream color, not a true white, there's just a tingle of color to them. The camera really cane pick it up at all. But especially when I am peeling hardboiled eggs its easy to see.

Really? My Australorp lays medium-brown speckled eggs.

I was just thinking this. I have 5 production blues which are a mix between RIRs and blue australorps and their eggs brown. The 2 circled ones are from my EEs. The others from the blues.

Yeah, I've noticed nobody is quite laying the color egg that should be when I Google egg colors. The only ones that are right are the GCs and BR's minus the one that puts a ton of bloom on the shell. The RIR and the BA's don't seem right. I figured since they are hatchery chickens they are crossed with something else to increase production and that messed up the egg color. Not sure though.
