How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

2 from 3 today. 14 for the week:

6 from Bandit the barred rock
5 from Sunny the buff Orpington
3 from Jane the Australorp (who just started laying again after a four-week hiatus [light molt?])
 
Anyone know what kind of hen would lay a light pinkish colored egg.....she was a drop off so don't really know anything about her, very friendly probably a pet or kids project that got old.....anyway she has greenish/grey legs and the coloring of a dark EE....does an EE not have the ear muffs like Araucana or Americana? Not really sure of the difference? Thanks Geri

 
Looks like a mutt with an EE parent. And yes, hatchery EEs tend to have green legs, beards, and lay green eggs. But there are clean-faced, brown-laying exceptions so it's also possible this one came from a hatchery.
