Could these 3 eggs be from the same bird?

I have 5 hens who are at laying age. I know my EE and Colorpack are laying.
I also have a Lavender Orpington, Welsummer, and Black Copper Marans. They are all 5.5 months old hatched within a few days of each other.

I thought my Welsummer had started laying-- I got one speckled egg, then another a day later (the middle one), and then nothing for 5 days. I went out today and found the egg that is farthest to the left. It is darker and a different color, so I thought it was the BCM. But when I line the 3 eggs up, they are all kind of different.

Do I have a 4th (or 5th?)layer, or is it possible that all three eggs came from the same hen?

I mostly want to know because the rooster and the Welsummer girl won't let me catch her to check to see if she is maybe egg bound. She is eating well, and not walking funny.

Any bird you can’t catch is not egg bound. Eating well, moving well pretty much equals feeling fine.

Maybe the first two eggs, same bird, but I too am leaning to three different birds laying. How often are you gathering eggs?

I am gathering eggs every day. I search the coop and run, as the EE lays everywhere except the nest box.
I had egg #1 on 1/25, and egg #2 on 1/26, and then no brown egg until today (1/31). I have 5 hens total. The two I know are laying lay green & blue.
