What color eggs would a Red Comet lay?

[TubbyChicken]

I have a Red Comet and an unknown mix (she appears to be mixed with ameracauna)...

We've had the two hens since Monday morning and I've gotten two eggs. This is what they looked like:

One appeared to be fertilized (tiny white spot in yolk) which would make sense because the hens were housed with roos...The Red Comet has a lot of feather loss from the roo but I assumed her eggs would be darker brown. What do you think? (btw, she's at least a year old)

Mine are much darker from the pullets. They just started and they are a carmel brown. However the older hens are much lighter, so it could just be her age showing.

I would have thought brown, but mine have laid very pale brown eggs and then got darker as they layed more.

Thanks for the response! I hope she's not too terribly old

Here are the two hens...

and I was told she was a year old...so I assume that's the least.

Golden Comets lay brown eggs. Not quite sure if your eggs are EE's or Comets.

I think coffeelady took the words right out of my mouth!
My Goodness!! That poor girl!!
I think a red comet is basically a red sex link, and they lay brown eggs. My sexlinks have laid a few pale egs, but not that pale. I never had brown egg layers that lived for more than a year or so, so I dont know if eggs lose color with age.
That poor girl is definately stressed! Not sure you'd be able to guess age or anything with her in that condition. I think you'll just have to spoil her for a while, let her get used to the good life, and grow feathers, and see what happens. Maybe she'll thank you for all your kind care by laying nice sized eggs steadily for a few more years!!

is it possible that the stress has affected the color of her eggs? I wondered that myself. She looks better than sh did sadly enough

I've been taking treats to her everyday.
