Looks like my lavender Orpington eggs........so, I am thinking you BOs.

My guess would be that the 3 lighter ones are from your Golden Laced Wyandottes.

I would say the GLW. Mine lay about that color. My BO and australorp lay lights eggs. The buff is barely a buff egg and the astralorp is almost just tinted beige with a pearlescent sheen similar to their feathers and how they almost show green.

If i didn’t have young children and goats and a full time job i would sit in the coop all day watching each one lay their eggs. Lol

Hen lay different shade eggs in response to the amount of chemical colors that each hen possesses in her body. As the egg laying season progresses hens will lay lighter and lighter shelled eggs. Some eggs that are normally brown will become tan, pink, or bone colored. It is therefor a crap shoot to even guess which hen laid what egg.

It's nearly impossible to tell who laid what here, since each breed is capable of a light-to-medium brown. I've heard of some individuals placing a drop of food coloring inside a hen's vent to determine who's responsible.
