I have 3 young hens (approximately 5 months old): a speckled sussex, a Buff orpington and an Easter Egger. I also have a 1.5 y/o welsummer who has been laying lovely brown speckled eggs consistently.
The other day we got a light-colored, speckled egg that was definitely a different color than our welsummer eggs. However, it was about the same size and i was expecting small eggs from our first-timers. Could this have been a weird off-color egg from our Welsummer? Or do you think it might be one of the younger ladies? We used to have a BO that laid tan solid eggs, not speckled and I thought speckled sussex eggs would be solid tan as well. (expecting the EE to lay blue or green, hopefully)
