    I have buff orps and rir. I know they both lay brown eggs. I'm trying to find out whose laying. I get a very light brown and medium brown eggs. Who is who?

    I'm not sure what kind of eggs the BO lay but I know my RIR lay a darker egg.

    ETA - Yep. checked into it and the BO lay a light brown egg.

    Hope this helped!

    I have a friend who uses a small amount of food coloring on the girls vent, each girl gets a different color, when the girls lay, the egg is smeared with the food coloring and he can match the egg to the girl.
