Could this egg come from this hen?

Exciting news - I got my first egg today! It was adorably tiny, and peachy colored. The only problem is, the hen I think who laid the egg should be laying blue eggs. Now, I didn’t see her actually lay, but she’s my only young hen who has shown interest in using the laying boxes. In fact, this morning when I went out to throw them veggies she was a no-show, which makes me think she was definitely laying. She usually comes running over for food time. Anyway, she was sold to me as a chick as a cream legbar. Kind of hard to see in this picture but she does have a crest. So, is she just not a cream legbar, or did another hen lay this (I have a group of 6 different breeds)?

Congrats on the adorable egg! The color a pullet lays can change a bit over time, in my experience, but probably not from peachy tan to sky blue. Your suspect has the comb and wattle development to be laying.
