Whodunit?!

[Dona Worry]

So, I found a large, almost white egg in the coop today, and not a clue who laid it. My current known laters are BA, BO, RiR, GLW, and an EE all 23--30 weeks old, and you can see them all in the carton, with the large whitish egg in front:

It is considerably bigger than the other eggs
Now, I have been getting anywhere from 3-5 eggs a day, and today I got 5. I can identify one each from the EE and GLW because they each have distinctive eggs, but the rest all look very similar.
I do have 3 more pullets to start to lay-- all SLW, all 23 weeks.
BUT I also have Susan, my feral broody with her 3 chicks.
Susan, in the past, has laid very small eggs, about as big as the EE eggs in the carton, but she also scavenged for food and was essentially wild. She now has free choice access to a high protein feed and oyster shell, but would that change the size of her eggs? She is a small hen, bigger than your average bantem, but much smaller than all my pullets. Plus, she has the chicks still.
These eggs are the same color as her previous eggs, and she has been spending a lot of time in the egg boxes, but I assumed she liked how cozy it was in there with her babies rather than in her broody cave.
So, ideas? One of my silver-laced? Susan? One of my established layers just laying a weird egg? WHODUNIT?!

Any but the EE. When you wash it you should be able to see the true color of the egg and that might help you identify who laid it. I get some that have a weird bloom on them that makes the egg look white, but when it's wet the egg turns brown. It happens infrequently for my girls, but the eggs seem fine otherwise.

It's been washed, and dried too. It's not bloom, that's the color.

Mine usually fade back to the white color when dried. I've found that trying to figure out who laid what is very difficult unless you catch them in the act. I had an egg that I swore came from my aussie, but then later found that my amberlink would occasionally lay eggs that were similar. Are you able to identify who laid the other eggs? It would at least narrow down which ones you need to keep an eye on.

my birds usally never lay the same colored eggs.and maybe you could try seperating them all early in the morning before theiy lay an egg because then after theiy been in there a while and layed their eggs you could see who layed what

My SLW lay very light colored eggs
Almost white with just a hint of cream

My GLW lays super pointy eggs, so not her, as I got one of hers today. I *think* the pale egg to the left is from the BO. . . but not sure. The dark egg is probably the RiR?
If I'm right, that just leaves the black australorp as the culprit for this egg from my current known layers.

 

[Col1948]

I read somewhere on here you can tell by looking at the ears, the one with the white lobes might be the culprit.

Welp there is a SIXTH egg.
So, I definitely have a new layer-- but WHO!?
