Chicken or Peahen egg

[Mama KK]

I have 4 hens (three Easter eggers and a barred rock) about 3 months ago we had a peahen adopt my flock and has made herself right at home.

My hens didn’t lay for about two months during their molt and just recently slowly started back. This afternoon I found the attached (I put one of my Easter eggers for reference).

My question is chicken or peahen?

1. My barred’s eggs are usually a little darker and 2. This seems extremely large for her.
That being said it would be her first in two months so could that make it larger? Orrrr could this be a peahen egg?

Kind of looks like a pea egg to me.

Where do you live? And do you have any lights on the hens at night?

We are South Texas, we have some lights strung on the coop but they don't stay on all night.

My friend in Slado hasn't gotten any yet but the time is near. We see posts every year about eggs out of season is why I asked. I take it you don't have a cock so you can enjoy a nice omelet.

Love this thanks so much. I was definitely surprised when I went to gather eggs.
