which one laid the pink egg? (edited with update on pg 2)

[BankerJohn]

I got a pink egg. the 3rd one. I do not know which bird is laying it. Can you please help?

I have the following:
1 Barred Rock
2 White Leghorns
2 Rhode Island Reds
2 Americanas

I know the BR is laying brown eggs but that is the only bird that I know is laying. Any help would be appreciated.

One of the Americanas. The BR and RIR Lay brown and the Leghorns lay white.

It's one of the Easter Eggers you listed them as Americanas which is a hatchery term for their colored egg layers.They try to pass them off as Ameraucana's which is a breed that has a strict Breed Standard which hatchery birds don't come close to.They list them as colored egg layers or the Easter Egg chicken and they do lay pink on occasion..we have other breeds here as well that some people think look pink especially freshly laid but are brown egg layers..which pink actually is.

 

[SummerChick]

Yes one of the ameraucana's or EE. I have an EE that lays a pinkish egg. Do you have a picture of your pink egg?

Or it could be the BR or anyone else that lays a light brown egg that people think is pink.

Yeah, I'd guess one of the brown egg layers, often my eggs brown eggs look pinkish. For all the put downs, most of the mutt Americana/EE's lay blue or greenish eggs.

this is a PINK EGG, not pink hue. It is the same color pink as plastic egg cartons from the store. The cooler the egg gets, the more pink color it gets. So you think EE?

My PRs lay a very nice light brown with a pinkish hue but if its as pink as you say then it is probably your EE. Please post pics! We would love to see it!

EE's lay blue, green or pink. None of your other breeds do. They lay light brown & white.

It's the EE.
Now I have a question for the OP: Are the eggs strong shelled and normal frequency? Our EE pink egg layer had very thin shells and laid erratically. She took long vacations and generally did not pay for her keep. I gave her 2 years and then rehomed her to someone who wanted tick-eaters and didn't care about laying.
I am curious if the pink egg gene is related to poor eggs/laying.
