    Help me figure out which of my chickend could have laid the mystery egg. As you can tell from my siggy, I have several breeds of brown-egg layers, as well as EE. I have FINALLY started getting eggs a little over a week ago from all of my red sex links, but yesterday I got a very light brown pullet egg (almost creamy) that was different from all the rest of my nice brown eggs. Who from my list could've laid such a light colored egg and will it stay that color, or will it get darker??? I wish I could figure out how to post pictures so you could see how light it is....

    My Wyandottes lay light eggs usually, almost white sometimes. I even have one RIR that lays a porcelain colored egg, but she's a rebel anyway, LOL.
