Back story… I’m need to the chicken world and only got started because my 3year old talked me into it. When I bought them as chicks we bought them from a farm supply store and I didn’t think they’d all make it honestly, because I didn’t know anything about raising chicks. 9 of the 10 made it so now I have several different breeds. The brown eggs below are the ones I’m wondering about. In the first picture, the brown egg in the middle is the size and shape I’ve been getting from my Isa Brown hens. Today we got the brown one on the top also. The first pic was taken before being washed and they are clearly diff colors. The second pic is after being washed and you can still tell they’re different colors and slightly different in size. You can’t tell in the pic but the one on the left is also more oval and doesn’t really have the pointed top like they Isa browns have been laying. I’m just wondering if you all think one of my other chickens is laying? The two that haven’t laid yet are silver laced wydonette and black sex link.

Can you post pics of the hens in question? If the hens have bright red face/wattles/comb - yes they are either laying or about to lay. If they are more of a pink color, then not likely to be laying. Also, there is a way to measure their pelvic distance with your fingers (its all external - not gross) - but I cant remember specifics. And, you can look at their vents - because a laying hen's vent will look different than a non layer.

The top pic isn’t very good but that’s the silver laced wydonette, the bottom is the sex link.
 
I think the black sex link is the more likely of the two, they Wyandotte’s comb seems to be more pale and she’s not as red around the face from what the picture looks like. A pelvic exam would be an easy way to find out - start with a couple that you know are laying first, then check the two in question.
