I don't see a white egg in your photo but Asil hens lay cream colored eggs so it's most likely that the bottom (brown) egg is from your standard laying hen, the middle (light tan/cream) egg is from an Asil hen, and the top (pale blue) egg is from the Cream Legbar.

The middle egg was a fluke the rest are a bit whiter, the main reason I was confused is that the asil chickens are twice the size of my laying hen and the eggs are smaller

What breed is your laying hen?

Commercial laying breeds and crosses have been bred over many decades to lay large eggs while eating less food. Thus my California White is the smallest adult in the flock but lays the largest eggs.

Same here. My RIR are my smallest birds and lay the largest eggs.
