2 questions.

We got our first egg Sunday, no eggs since and then today some time after 10am we got 2 eggs. Both look exactly like the first egg so idk if they are from the same chicken or not. Can the same chicken lay an egg 2 times in a day?

Also the one egg on the left has this white patchy stuff on it, it’s raised on top of the blue/green color. What’s with that?

I doubt that you got two eggs from the same pullet in one day. You have at least 2 layers.
The white stuff on the shell is excess calcium. Pullets sometimes lay imperfect eggs until their reproductive systems get into the swing of things.
Enjoy your beautiful first eggs!
 
Butt check!

....or 'catch them in the act'.


'Speckled' eggs can happen for several different reasons...very few, if any, of which are a 'problem'.
Can be caused by:
Excess or uneven pigment coating.
Excess or uneven cuticle(bloom).
Excess calcium deposits.
Porous eggs can appear speckled.
Some birds lay them consistently, some only once in awhile.
The pigment or bloom can change appearance when wet, then change back when dry again.

As long as bird is getting a good diet and is healthy in every other way, it is no cause for concern.
 
Got 2 eggs today, more blue than this blue/green. I butt checked them all and 2 are 2 fingers for pubic bones and 3 for pubic to breast. 1 of these I caught in the act today. My other 2 EE are 1.5 and like 2 fingers. 1 of those I caught in the act too...so I’m guessing maybe these two came from my other 2 EEs so I have 4 laying EEs.
