Which of these breeds lay these eggs?

[Vegas chick]

Hello! I'm a fairly new chicken owner. I have 10 girls. 2 Australorp, 2 black sex link, 2 barred rocks, 2 RIR and 2 Cinnamon Queens. My sex links and Australorps have been laying for a while and one of my Queens started. My question is, I was getting all brown eggs from the australorps and sex links. But over the last few weeks two of them have been laying white/cream colored eggs. I have been trying to figure out which two have been laying them. I went in their nesting box while one of the Sexlinks were in there, after she got done, but before I could check one of my Australorps went in to lay. When she was done I had a brown egg and a cream egg. I'm just curious to know which would be laying the cream and why it had changed from brown to white/cream? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hm. Which hens have you seen in the act of sitting trying to lay?

I know my Queens are laying the dark brown. I've seen them. But everytime I try to catch the australorps or sexlinks there are already eggs under them. So I can't ever figure out which is doing it

All of those breeds should be laying brown eggs, although Australorps are often pretty pale. I think you're going to have to catch the bird in the act to know who lays the cream eggs
