I just found out that my month-old chick was fathered by a White Leghorn, and her mother may have been an Aracauna. If so, is it possible she will lay colored eggs, or does a hen have to be 100% Aracauna to lay colored eggs?

My understanding is that if both were purebred, pullet chicks would be EEs that lay blue eggs (blue x white = blue). EEs of unknown descent lay a variety of egg colors but when you purposely cross purebred birds, you can predict the outcome.
