Help ID this broody baby

[OkieChickenDad]

Gerty was to be a Copper Maran...she has a fluffy beard, a few feathers on her legs, blue grey coloring that is broken up by very few scattered black/dark blue spots. She came from a farm with Turkens, Silkies, Copper Marans and others that remain UCO's (Unidentified Clucking Objects). I think she is a pretty sweet little mutt, but this is my 1st chicken and I really dont know squat

I"m pretty new to chickens myself, so I can't guess, but I have to say that last picture made me crack up!

She's a pretty girl!

She looks like an Ameracauna or EE cross. She could be an olive egger which is a EE or Ameracauna X Dark Laying breed, i.e. BCM. I think she is gorgeous and is welcome at my house anytime.

Now that you mentioned it!...the lady told me she had olive egger hatching eggs, and asked if I wanted some extras...I said no just a dozen, but she gave me 14 and told me she threw in some extras anyway, 2 of the eggs were blue, and thats what gerty hatched from...a blue egg.

Agreed. If it weren't for the bronze color in the hackles and the feathered legs (I see feathers, don't I?) then she'd be a blue Ameraucana. Most likely an Olive Egger with those feathered legs. If you don't want her, I'll add her to my little flock.

There you go. You'd better hang onto her. Folks'll be knocking your door down to get some of her pretty eggs.

Yeah, sure...you would have to pry Gerty from my cold dead hands...she is the baby and the 1st animal we have had that we have actually considered getting "diapers" for

LOL. I love it.
