I have no clue what her breed is, I assumed she was a Plymouth Rock, however she lays light blue eggs- I have considered she’s mixed but with what? Any suggestions would help, she is currently 22 weeks

More than likely is just an Easter Egger (which is a mutt and not a true breed anyways). Very pretty! Where did you get her? Might also help explain a bit of her background.

My college Animal Science class bought 2 dozen fertile eggs and I was allowed to keep two, (originally I had 2 hens and a cockerel but one hen passed due to respiratory).
 
You can see the rooster in the cornor of one of the images I know he’s either an EE or ameraucana
More than likely he is an Easter Egger. There is a thread on here that explains the main differences between a pure Ameracauna vs an Easter Egger. (If I recall correctly, Ameracaunas are typically rare and come in solid colors. Any multicolor or colorful Ameracauna lookalike is likely an Easter Egger.)
I'm sorry for your loss on the one hen ;(. These two look great though!

Wow! I have never seen a blue egg layer than looks like that. She is gorgeous! Could you get a photo including her feet? Does she have feathered feet? What color is her skin and shanks?

The one popping it's head in (last picture) is an EE.

I’ll definitely look through it, Thank you so much for the help! Aside from these two I have 75% silkie 25% leghorn chicks that are 2 weeks old currently

Ah. Makes SO much more sense. The EE is NOT a male and is laying the blue eggs. The other bird is not yet at POL and is a partridge rock.
Wow!! Completely missed that 😂I agree with this! If that little pullet was indeed laying the blue eggs, I'd still think she was an EE. EEs come in all shapes and colors, and beardless and straight combed ones do exist! I'm not familiar with partridge rocks
