Are you sure the eggs were chicken eggs? Because those both look like possible roosters. Could you get any more pictures?
 
ya they were chicken eggs, one was white and the other was brown. I do have more pic's but there not very good but I can get more.

the same hen wont lay a brown one day and white another

how many more hens you got

as i also see 2 Roos there

you may need to try trap nesting and see other than that more closeup pics will defo help
 
Yep, if you got one white and one brown egg, those are from two different hens. You can bet the farm on that one. A hen can only lay one color of egg. Sometimes there is slight variation, particularly over the course of the laying season, but never two different colors all together. I agree those both look like roosters, but I would need better pics to give an official opinion as I am not too familiar with game breeds.
 
I only have two chicken the eggs were in the same nest one was white and the other egg was brown. well if everyone is saying both chickens are roosters then the eggs might have been rooster eggs which are eggs that are not complete which explains the one time deal.
 
If you only have two birds, and you got a white and a brown egg, you have two hens. The only other option is someone is playing a trick on you. Roosters don't have ovaries.
