Same chicken laying...?

[Eeubank928]

Hi everyone!

First time chicken owner here. I currently have 5 hens who are just starting to lay. I know that 2 are for sure laying. But possibly 3???? My first laying hen (cooper maran) was laying medium brown eggs. Cool. Then I got my first blue egg from my Easter egger. AWESOME! But today, I went in and saw an egg with a more green hue to it? Only laid 2 days apart. To my knowledge, egg shell color can’t vary that much?
My 5 hens are 1 Easter egger (white/grey), 1 cooper maran (black), 1 Russian Orloff (white/brown), and 2 partridge rocks (brown). From my research, my Easter egger is the only one who shouldn’t be laying a brown egg.

Any suggestions if is my Easter egger just producing a variance in color? Or if one of my other birds is an imposter and laying a non brown egg???

Chicken eggs do change over time, but not that drastically. I had one that started by laying light blue and since then she has slowly shifted to pure white.

Fairly sure the two eggs in your hand came from different hens.

If you are really curious and willing to do a bit of searching, could do a butt check to see who is all laying:

Green eggs are blue shells with a brown coating, sometimes the brown coating doesn't happen, thus the blue egg.

Is this what May have happened to my hen today? She is 11 months old. Blue egg today but usually green. Shape and texture changes also. Definitely both her eggs
