What breed lays a brown *speckled* egg?

[chicklets81]

So I've been trying to find out who lays the brown speckled eggs in the flock.....

I've got 2 black australorps, 2 RIR, 2 Buff orp, 2 ameraucana mix, and 1 barred rock.

Anyone have any idea? If not, I will have to take a day to go watch them lay, and check every hour.

I'd love a whole bunch more hens that lay speckled eggs! And the chicken obsession continues....

All I have are RIR'S and I get speckled from 2 or 3 hens. They are darker than the other eggs and the speckled spots almost look purple.

I get speckled from my Marans and my Cochin. Of yours, I would suspect the reds.

You can use food die and a q tip to paint the vents of the suspects different colors and the die will leave streaks on the egg, then you know by which color which hen laid it. Avoid red as it invites pecking. And if you don't have enough colors do some and then a few days later do the others.

Good luck!
