Leghorn and what breed is the other?

[HappyClucker7]

Good question. None of my white hens lay white eggs. But they lay various shades of very light blue, green and cream.

Leghorns should be laying white eggs, so if none of yours are, then I'm afraid none of them are pure leghorns. I think you may have hatchery variety EE's instead.

Do you have pictures of them as chicks? Sometimes down color can help narrow down a breed.

no i dont

Yeah, I know they lay large white eggs.I didn't specifically buy leghorns. I got 6 fancy breed(ha-ha on me!) I ended up with 5 white hens and 1green egg layer that got really sick this past spring.
Never again from TSC.

Your first hen looks like the Azure Blue listed on this page: https://heartscontentfarmhouse.com/chickens-that-lay-blue-eggs/

Funny, one of my older hens is from Meyers hatchery. I asked for a Blue Andalusian and got amore white than splash with blue legs. I wish we has a reliable hatchery here in Northeastern Kentucky. I dont go to TSC for anything, and the only other place to go is Rural King. There I can pick which breeds I want, out of the breeds they have that week.
It doesn't really matter to me, I was just curious. I give eggs to the people in my holler.

My first four are mixes, but it nice to know the breeds when people ask, so I get it. It's like having a dog and responding IDK it's a dog.

I work at an animal shelter and I always gotta tell people that these dogs are not DNA tested, they are visually IDd to a close visual match but the only thing we can guarantee is it's 100% dog

Even the chihuahuas, cause I'd have to disagree.

No offence to chihuahuas or their owners
