Who laid this egg?

Hmmm, are FBCM eggs spotted like this?

Any layer can lay spotted eggs, even one of my BRs layed a slightly spotted egg. Although nowhere to the degree or beautful as yours. I want a girl that lays eggs like that.

Next day off Im sitting and watching who is going in the nest boxes. I still feel like its my Welsummer but Im no expert. She has been squatting longer and her comb and wattles are very red compared to my Marans but I've been wrong before
Oh and @aart both butts looked the same!

Guess it could be either then...only time will tell, once you get 2 dark ones in one day.

They are so beautiful. I have some Wellies also that were hatch in April. Hope my eggs are as beautiful as yours. I just love the specks in the eggs. My EE just started to lay today at just over 21 weeks.

Ok so now another dilemma. When I left the house this morning my Marans was in the nesting box then singing the egg song. Yesterday I found another brown egg in the nest box but it was smaller and a little different color (top left). Then today I found a brown egg in the nest box similar to the ones I've been finding for a couple days. But I also found a pinkish brown egg in the ground in the run. So I think the first eggs and one of the dark eggs from today are from my marans, then the small different colored but dark brown egg is there first egg from my Welsummer and then the regular brown/pink egg is my first from my barred rock. Wow that's confusing. But I think I may have 4 hens laying now. Cream legbar, for sure, then marans then welsummer and now barred rock. Time will tell!!! couple days

Agrees!

So today I actually witnessed my Marans laying so I know this single egg pictured is hers. The other dark brown ones may be hers as well but it's weird how some are small and some very large. Anyway until I see my welsummer laying with my own eyes I'll guess I'll assume these are all Marans. Thoughts? The one from today it very dark and uniform in color, not as mottled/speckled. Interestingly enough she siding make a peep or sing or anything. Just hopped out of the nest box and started pecking around. But don't worry my barred rock sang for her. I also know my barred rock is the layer of those small pinkish/tan eggs pictured because I watched her lay also. I think I'll post my Marans eggs under the Marans thread and see what they think. Thanks for the help
