Can anyone tell me what kind of hen this is?

[HappyClucker7]

She's an Easter Egger. Probably one of the hatchery varieties like Starlight Green Egger or Whiting True Blue.

I took in this sweet girl and her sapphire gem flock mate from a neighbors sister who had a medical emergency. She said she ordered them and a few others as chicks from a hatchery but I can not figure out what in the world she is! She is very docile and sweet and super chatty! But her dark legs throw me off Lol Anyone have any idea? My neighbor said she thought she was an Easter egger but couldn't be sure. I'm completely stumped!

Pics are true to color.

I don’t have much experience, but, the general appearance and leg color, could be Whiting True Blue, especially if it came from Murray McMurray hatchery..probably not that if not from there..

You can see pics of mine in my other post, but, here’s a screenshot of Murray McMurray site Whiting True Blue..I find them fascinating..their outward phenotype is so varied..beards, muffs, or not, all colors, but the blue egg gene always breeds true..pretty amazing!

They’re not that easy to distinguish from Ameraucana..except my Ameraucana has greenish legs, as opposed to darker gray, or yellow..this gal can have the fiercest expression..gorgeous, somehow looks more like a hawk to me..

That’s not an ameraucana. Ameraucanas have blue legs and don’t come in that coloration.

Well, they do if you buy them from Murray McMurray..that’s all I can say..maybe my description of the leg color is incorrect, but, my girl is very similar to a pic from their site, and, I’ve identified all my others as Whiting True Blues..unless I’m mistaking the girl I call Lavender for the Ameraucana, and this one as a true blue, but, from what McMurray told me, I think I’m correct. They say their Ameraucana have different colorations. Also, the Ameraucana breeder site says slate or even black legs also..

Hatcheries lie and call Easter eggers ameraucanas all the time. Here’s a thread (started by @TheOddOneOut) that explains the differences between these two breeds: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...an-ameraucana-do-check.1421663/#post-23370023.
