It's very pretty! And very typical for new brown egg layers especially, whose "spray paint booths" are still getting up to speed. Coloring will probably even out with time, and even if it doesn't, it doesn't mean that there's a thing wrong with the egg.

Some breeds always lay speckled eggs (Welsumer, Barnevelder, etc.)

Congrats on the eggs! The first eggs can always be a little different.

Nothing to concern yourself. I have had BAR RKS and RIR lay the same intermittently of their laying life.

My EE laid an egg just like that today. Usually it isn’t speckled but I guess today was my lucky day haha. Her eggs are light brown.

Hahaha maybe it came from my EE. That was my 6th or 7th chicken to lay an egg and I know for sure 6 of the 10 are laying my EEs and my jersey giant haven’t started laying yet

When you crack the egg, check the color of the inside of the shell. If it’s white, it’s probably not the EE (but could be.) If it’s blue, it’s the EE.

Let us know!
