Got her today. Her Entire Flock was killed, and she was the only survivor.

She definitely looks like she has some leghorn, there were a lot of leghorns in the flock. But she lays a green egg, and had dark gray legs. What kind of cross is she?

I just got her home. I am also gonna need tips for quarantine. Thanks

Okay, my bad, she is a hen. Very pretty girl. Might have Leghorn and Maran blood.

Would that create a green egg though?

Not that cross specifically.
She’s likely a cross of a cross. Of a cross.

Yup.

Green Queens were created by Meyer, I think. They don't have a standard and can pretty much look like anything. Most do lay green eggs, though.

She's quite possibly a barnyard mix, but there were a lot of true leghorns in her flock

She was created in the chicken run, not a hatchery bird. Nonetheless, she's cute. Skittish, but cute.

If that's the case, I would just call her an OE. Yeah, she is striking!
