I just caught one of the sneaky girls red-handed hiding her egg. As I suspected at least one of the culprits is one of the cinnamon queens. This does not surprise me as when they first started laying they were trying to contribute to Momma hens hidden nest that I found a few days before she went to setting with 15 eggs. I know there is more then 1 hen laying their as there are too many differences in shapes, sizes and color to be from one hen. I had chalked the cochins up to not laying as they are full on molting and every day I could fill up a pillowcase from their feathers. That being said, at some point at least 1 if not both of the girls were laying there. I found 6 very distinct cochin eggs in the mix. I would not have found that stash of eggs last night if I had not gotten tangled up with one of the boards we stack the hay on. I moved it just enough that when I shone my light on it to scoot it back in place I spotted what I thought were a few eggs. Yes I about died when I lifted the board up and found the motherload. If momma hen was not busy still raising her two this could have been disastrous. The hidden location is a mere foot away from where she hid and hatched off 10 chicks last year. Chickens are supposed to be fun, mine are starting to give me grey hairs. That is my 14 year old's job.
Hugs to you if she is a Frosted Legbar with lots of Leghorn traits like too much egg production and your time together is short (but sweet). There is some chance like 
It really is early, we got flurries day before yesterday here in southern Ohio. Not looking forward to winter setting in especially so soon.
