Who laid this egg?

[jaemi]

This is my first year raising chickens. I have 14 right now 7 of them are 18 weeks old and 7 of them are 13 weeks old. I wasn't expecting anyone to lay eggs yet, but today I noticed one in the coop and one in the run. Both eggs are roughly the same size, although one is a bit smaller, and they look similar so perhaps they are being laid by the same lady. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which chicken lays eggs like this?

18 Week old
-1 Rhode Island Red
-1 Australorp
-2 Silkies
-2 Golden Comets
-1 Faverolle

13 Week old (Although I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet that none of these guys laid it.)
-3 Easter Eggers
-1 Black Sex Link
-1 Cochin
-1 Welsummer
-1 Cuckoo Maran

I would guess one of the 18 week old golden comets. They are the earliest maturing of your birds.

It's probably whichever pullet(s) has the biggest reddest comb. Golden comets are fast maturing and the most likely candidate. The Australorp and Rhode Island Red are possibilities too.

I agree

Wow, they're usually slow to mature!

I originally didn't even consider my silkies because I thought they weren't great layers but it's definitly her!

My hatchery quality Silkies are excellent layers when they aren't broody They lay eggs around six days a week for a few months, then go broody for a few months and it goes on and on......
