Matching Hens with Eggs?

Matching Hens with Eggs?

Hello!

I am trying to figure out which of our hens lay which eggs. Some are obvious but we are a little stumped on the different shades of brown.

Currently have:

2 x Leghorns

3 x Speckled Sussex

2 x Barred Rock

3 x Easter Eggers.

The leghorns are obvious, and 2 of the easter eggers lay green eggs (one lays solid green, the other lays speckled green). I am pretty sure the other easter egger lays the reddish-brown eggs (#5), but I am stumped with #2, #3, and #4.
