I got 3 barred rock pullets a few days ago, the man said some of the girls had already started laying (but he didn't know which ones) and I was lucky enough to get one that was laying! She laid an egg the first day she was here (around 3 pm). It was brown and completely covered in tiny white speckles, and the second day at the same time I got another egg that looked exactly the same. Yesterday I didn't get one, but today I got one between 9-11 that was all brown with no speckles and slightly smaller than the other 2. Could these three eggs be from the same hen or has another of my girls started laying? This is my first time to own chickens and I'd heard that hens lay the same color of eggs forever, varying slightly in shade, but I don't know if the color can vary from speckled to non still from the same girl? Thanks!
