BO and BR eggs--compare them??

[Dixiedoodle]

I have two Buff Orpingtons and two Barred Plymouth Rocks.. Almost every day, I get two (almost identical) very light, of the palest brown eggs(almost cream) and two identical , slightly darker eggs...

SO, who lays what? I, actually, saw them laying eggs at the beginning..but both breeds have changed---gotten lighter, less pink and larger.... Since I am trying to keep a record of my eggs, who lays them, what the weather was that day and how much they free-ranged the day before....I would like to have a better idea of which egg belongs to which breed.... Any ideas? Thanks

Have no clue what a BO lays but I have 18 barred rocks and lay anything from light cream to your normal brown egg color!! Have read that BO's lay brown eggs but it doesn't specify. Here's a link you can check out. https://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/breed-chart

In my flock, the BO eggs are lighter and more uniform, the sexlink (half BR) eggs are darker and often almost have a "dusty" looking coating on them.

My Buff Orps generally lay rounder, broader eggs, but not always. One of them does lay a pearly cream-colored egg. One lays a jumbo, light beige egg with some tiny speckles. The youngest one lays a very rounded, pinkish egg, flat finish, no speckles. The BRs lay darker than that and more "egg-shaped" eggs, more elongated, that is all except one. She lays a very rounded creamy egg. Hard to make generalizations, really, since it's a more individual thing.
