Another one has pipped too - they aren't due till tomorrow so hopefully there will be more. Poor Elvis didn't get to meet his offspring .

Any idea of who laid the egg/eggs?

I've some welsummer crosses from earlier in the year laying similar coloured eggs too. Not checked this morning, will see later if any more have arrived.
