Our first time owning chickens...any ideas who might be laying these beauties? We have golden laced wyandottes, australorps, buff Brahma, silver laced Cochin, and buff orpingtoms. Pretty sure the Cochin is not laying yet.
Thanks!!

I own all those breeds, none of mine lay speckled eggs like that, so I have no real guess. Generally you can tell by the shade of brown which breed it may be from, but yours??? Are you sure of the breeds? You may just have to catch the hen in the act to pinpoint the layer.
 
We have a Black Australorp that reliably lays speckled brown eggs. Overall it could be any of them bc it tends to be an individual trait.

Not sure if it’s the lighting, but some of your eggs look more creamy or tan (versus brown), so look up what color each breed is supposed to lay, if that speckled is actually not brown.
