At first that's what I thought too, we have 2 Ameraucana but I think they are too young still, they are about 12 weeks olds. I have 2 speckled sussex too that are 14 weeks old. I'm wondering if it's possible that my RR or Auracana could be the culprit.
if it's the auracana, you might consider that with the brown egg layers, the eggs get lighter as they go through the lay cycle, I found this true of my ameraucanas as well. if it is her, I would not keep chicks from her as they will pass on the poor egg coloring.
I don't plan on hatching any of the "older girls" eggs. I may try an early spring hatch with the girls that just started laying. I got 4 eggs today out of 14 hens, I know that my older girls are producing little ( I get at least 1 sometimes 2eggs a day out of the 4) and I know I have 2 comets laying now and 4 of the girls (2 speckled sussex and 2 americauna) are still too young being they are no older than 12 weeks old. The girls I've had since a few days old are finally starting to come along. What a long voyage thus far. LOL
