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.
 
Did you change feed? Maybe the company that makes your chickens of feed changed something. That would do it.
wow. I have never seen any of my girls eggs change color. What they start laying is 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!
