I think I know what she is now! (pics included!!!)

I have a hen that looks EXACTLY like her.

She was sold to me as a blue cochin, however she has blue legs and is extremely broody to the point of exhaustion, I have a feeling she is mixed with silkie...

She lays smallish beige eggs though.

Trust me, she's not a silkie mix. That's the way cochins are, mine from Ideal was.

I still don't think she's a EE mix, just a blue cochin.

Cochins don't lay olive colored eggs.
And not all olive eggers will have beards. If the EE used in the cross is heterozygous for muffs/beard (it is dominant) than only half the offspring will be bearded.
She looks peacombed too, also not a cochin trait, which would indicate an EE/ameraucana/araucana cross with cochin.

This sounds right to me. She looks like a blue cochin, but the comb (as far as I can see) and egg color aren't cochin appropriate.

Beautiful bird and egg

I just confirmed (from who I got her from) that she is an ameraucana x!!!!

Whatever she is, she is just beautiful!

Wait are olive eggers actually a breed?
I thought it was just a name given to crosses between a dark egg laying chicken and a chicken with a blue egg gene.
