My gold laced Wyandotte’s both layvery light eggs. Almost tinted just beige. And oddly enough i agree with @Compost King that they appear to have a light chalky dusting over them.

Those are so pretty kinda looks like a sting of Christmas lightsThinking Wyandotte eggs are normally described as a medium brown. One of my Dottes laid a decently dark egg, though, and they were sometimes speckled!

Do it at night well after dark, pretty easy to 'catch' them off the roost.Although, the reason I haven't checked her vent is because 1. she's my hardest hen to catch, and 2. she's the rudest of them all(even more so than my roos...)
But maybe her attitude could benefit a bit from me checking her vent.
Well, she's the only brown egg layer old enough out of my 14 to be laying, but we'll see. And thanks for the tip about the dark. I knew that and I completely forgot about it.Do it at night well after dark, pretty easy to 'catch' them off the roost.
I wear a headlight so I can use both hands.
You may still have to catch them 'in the act' of laying to confirm who is laying which egg.
Perfect time to learn to do butt checks, you can compare layer to non-layers.Well, she's the only brown egg layer old enough out of my 14 to be laying, but we'll see. And thanks for the tip about the dark. I knew that and I completely forgot about it.
Just in time for Christmas!Those are so pretty kinda looks like a sting of Christmas lights
Unless you go to the dollar store and by some ghetto blue, green or orange lipstick!You may still have to catch them 'in the act' of laying to confirm who is laying which egg.
