Okay. I have a Jersey giant, which we thought were Asian blacks, (tractor supply, you never know what you're going to get), then a BCM mix with some speckled chicken, and two brown chickens, I'll post pictures.
I have a couple different egg types...however I have one egg that is GIANT. I mean its huge. I want to know which hen is laying them. Any help would be appreciated.

The ones you are calling brown look like maybe production reds. Wait, one has feathered legs! :pop

The speckled one is NOT a Sussex... maybe a cross... but why do you think crossed to BCM? Is that bird not from TSC?

How much does your "big" egg weigh? The bigger egg should be coming from a more mature bird. My FBCM do lay jumbo size eggs 3 times per week. I have heard, but not confirmed that you can use food coloring to die their vents and will stain the egg as it's laid so you can determine who did it.

Are all your birds the same age? I can see your boy has favorites according to feather condition... you might consider trying saddle aprons or something. Or at least pay attention that her skin isn't being broken. :)

Cute flock! :love
 
My speckled Sussex lays pale brown medium size eggs, like the one on the right in your pics.
 
One of my black hens in the picture with the two browns and the roo, she is crossed with the speckled and a bcm roo from my moms. Then the other all block one that's thicker is from tractor supply she is Jersey or something. We thought Asian black, that's what they told us they were. The two browns are his favorite, I make sure to keep an eye on their feathers and everything. That's my biggest fear is him hurting them because of his size. I'm 4'11 and he comes to my knee. Hes a big boy.
FBCM? Sorry, I'm new with using this and actually getting fully involved for the longest time I had two chickens. One roo and one hen. Moved home and got 60, now I'm living with my fiance and we are starting our own flock. They are all, except the speckled. Shes a year. The others are from 6months-9months.
The browns both have feathered legs. Not fully feathered, but a couple. So I'm not sure. I got the brown from Biltmore House.
 
I haven't cracked into th big one yet, sorry! I have been taking care of a sick baby chick.
And yes, they sell them. You just have to ask. They sell all ages. I got one that looks like an alpaca, I'll have to post a picture of her in a bit.
