Sultan chicken with a cream/pale pink egg?

[Twilight Sparkles]

My sultan girl just layed her very first egg today. I’ve been reading a lot about the breed and was expecting her to lay the usual white egg. To my surprise, her egg is pale pink! Is it because she’s not really a Sultan chicken? She’s a pet so she will still continue to be loved and we only have hens so no breeding issue. If she’s not a sultan, then what is she? Thank you!
(The white eggs belong to our 4 silkies)

It could just be due to the fact it is her first egg. If she lays again tomorrow, post a color pic so we can see.

Thank you! I will wait for her second egg and post again.

She is actually a white silkie mix... Sultan's have pink skin, not black.

I think you are right! I also asked a local expert and she said the egg must be white and maybe a silkie mix? But she couldnt be too sure. Thanks for pointing out her black skin! It’s a shame she’s not a pure sultan. She’s our first chicken in our life and we love her dearly.

Thank you! It’s kind of reassuring to hear 3 people saying the exact same thing because, to me,she looks very different from her silkie flockmates and she could fly very very high. She’s our first chicken ever so she will still continue to rule her coop and have a special place in our heart. And I am kind of happy to have a different colored egg instead of all white ones.

When my Blue Andalusians started laying, their first few eggs were pink, but now they are white. I think it's just because of being a new layer.
