This is a egg I got this morning. I only have two girls (brown sex link and black sex link) laying right now and they don't lay speckled eggs.





The two other eggs are eggs from yesterday.



The egg circled in orange is my Brown sex link"s and the egg circled in green is my Black sex link's.

I only have two other girls old enough to lay yet and they are a Australorp and a SIlkie. Is it just a malfunction of the Black sex link's or is it the Australorp that's started laying? I got two egg today, this one and then one that looked like Pumpkin's (Brown sex link).

Are you asking due to the color, the size or the markings? If it's the markings - to me, it looks like it got knocked around pretty good in the nest box after it was laid - feet/nails of the laying hen and any others who are in the box after her can do a real number as they walk all over the eggs.
 
Just a guess but since the egg is a different color and smaller, I think one of your younger girls may be starting to lay. You should know the answer in a few days.
 
I'd bet it's the australorps...and the spots are just excessive bloom...or could be one of the sexlinks and a glitch in both size and coating.
If the links just started laying, not unusual to get a few funky eggs the first month or so...and any age hen can lay funky egg once in a while.
