They look alike but one lays a blue egg, the other a beige egg! Help with breed ID please.

Hi these two brown girls look alike but lay different colored eggs. They are good size, one is a light blue egg and the other is a beige/pinkish egg.

The brown one that lays a blue egg is definitely an Easter Egger of some sort (hatcheries and stores sell them with many different names.)

The brown one that lays a brown egg is probably an Easter Egger too. When hatcheries are breeding Easter Eggers, they often end up with a few that lay brown eggs instead of blue or green. You could call her an Easter Egger (because that is what she is meant to be), or you could call her a Brown Egger (because she does lay brown eggs) or a mixed breed (because she is probably some kind of a mix rather than a pure breed. The combination of feather color, comb type, earlobe color, and egg color is wrong for any breed I can think of.)
