What breeds lay pink eggs?

I just sold My last two Pink Egg Layers, they are Lavender Cuckoo Easter Eggers. I ordered 24 Lavender (Self-Blue) Ameraucana eggs When they hatched out two were more streamlined and two We're more rounded. Several
Boys each turned out like the girls. in downsizing I let go of the ones that were definitely the Pretty blue egg Layers and kept back the two
Pink egg Layers that had a slightly different comb and not so streamlined. Recently sold them in downsizing. Still Downsizing....
I would also like to refer you to the egg color chart..so Shades of tan, some will
Be pink. I really regret selling the two pink egg Layers bc they were under a year and good solid trusty Layers.
 
Interesting thing happened yesterday with my pink layer. She layed a "non-pink" egg again. A tan/peach egg. But what was odd was it was kinda spotted, and the spots were lilac/purplish. I had thing she layed brown eggs with a good amount of res in them. And the white top coat made it pink. But it seems the top coat is more lillac, with a light tan/peach under layer.
 
wow. I have never seen any of my girls eggs change color. What they start laying is it.
 
Did you change feed? Maybe the company that makes your chickens of feed changed something. That would do it.

It's the thickness, and distribution of the top coat. Example:

That spotted eggs is from one of my Black copper marans. She normally lays chocolate colored eggs. But now and they she lays a spotted egg like this one.

The same happened with the pink egger. The top colored coating was not even on the egg. so it turned out tan/peach with lilac spots.

I did not change the feed, or the environment. It seems like a normal variation in laying. I was just surprised since I had assumed the top layer was merely white onto of a red/brown shell, but instead seems to be something more exotic.
 
That pigment is the last thing of the egg process before laying. Your chicken is dumping pigment and then not. I would not worry about it. She will not run out of pigment but the eggs must be shooting through her!
