What Color Eggs Are Your EEs Laying?

Finally got my first egg today. From one of my olive egger girls (24 weeks old). One down 9 to go.... lol

Store bought egg on the right.
 
I got this one last week. It's almost like a camouflage color, but she hasn't laid another one since. I have a few marans/EE cross girls and you can see their dark eggs in the second pic.



 
I still don't know if my second EE is laying, yet. Either the two of them are laying on alternating days, she's giving me brown eggs, or she's not laying yet. I get about 1 light sage green egg a day and 3 others that are brown. It now looks as though I've got another laying light brown eggs but, with 7 chickens, only half of which are laying, it could be anybody.

So, in an effort to stay sane, I have a new mantra: "I will wait until I get 7 eggs in one day to determine if and what she's laying".

I need some support here!!

I am a first time chicken owner, and so when my EE started laying on the 3rd of August, I was so pleased to see a beautiful Mint Green egg each day after lunch. But then on the fourth day, I started seeing 1 additional egg in the nestbox which was a pinkish/beige color. I thought maybe it was the EE laying both, but it sounds like everyone elses EE's lay just one colour per hen....? So then I started thinking the Beige egg is coming from my Buff Orp. because they are the same age. Then TODAY I go out and my two younger hens (SLW and BR) were all broody on two small beige eggs that appear to have come from them because they are smaller than the eggs I have been getting up untli now...??? Hahaha I might have to install a camera in there to determine who is laying!
