Who's egg?

[Pekin747]

Found this egg in my youngest flocks she tonight I was not expecting an egg til spring from them and was wondering if anyone can tell me who it might have came from

In the flock I have
2 pair of mandarins dont think its theres cause they are seasonal layers and its usually around April when they lay

Pair of bantam bramha

An ayam cermani pullet

A vorwek pullet

A silkie pullet

Or is one of my older girls flying between runs?

Looks like a Silkie egg.
Too be sure who is laying you can check the spacing between their pubic points below the vent. If one finger fits between the points, or barely, she's not laying. If two fingers fit between the points, she is laying, or is getting close to lay.

Same for bantams?

Check the pubic bone spacing as @MysteryChicken says, pretty much the one with the biggest spacing will be the one that's laying.

To me though, that looks like a Silkie egg from the size and shiny appearance.

I may be wrong though as I've never seen some of those other breeds eggs before.

Thanx I'm going to check them tonight when they go in as I want to get a silkie rooster if it is would love some baby silkies

Pelvic bone spacing is proportional to bird and finger size.
Best to compare to other birds, and look for the other signs of laying status.
Here's some tips on how to tell.....
