Maybe a second "first" egg?
Found this one in the run this AM - It was laid on top of a rock sometime between 3:30 and 5PM last night and and then sat upon and the bottom was squished in. My Maran has laid 2 medium brown eggs with dark speckles, so I'm assuming that this is a different pullet!
But which one... hmmmm We have a 32 week old wry tailed buff orpington that has just started to go red but still has a tiny comb and is not squatting, a 19 week old lavender orpington that is also just starting to look red and is not squatting, a 19 week old BLRW that isn't red at all and has no wattles or comb, a 19 week old BCM that I would assume not lay an egg that light, and 3 EEs (that the breeder swears are blue wheaten Ameraucanas) that have no comb and I would hope to lay blue eggs.
Any guesses? Does the egg colour match an Orp or Wyandotte?
Our Blue Maran's 2nd egg for comparison
