Leghorn with no comb?

SHHH! No, no, don't tell him that! Tell him.... Ameraucanas are a mutt breed,, nobody want 'em and mostly they come in muddy, mixed colors which keeps them safe from predators; a white bird like his will stick out like a sore thumb and be coyote bait, if the hawks don't get him, but give him to me, he'll have a long, safe life with me..... my Sheltie has not let any predarors harm our birds EVER in the 8 years we've had them here.

Hmm. Not buying it, eh? Oh well, it was worth a try, lol. She's a beauty! And I am officially jealous! :he

Don't blame you at all for trying. That is a gorgeous bird that will lay gorgeous eggs!
:love
 
So I think she (what people have seemed to agree is a Easter egger) just laid her first egg. It was quite small and very white. She is with three other chicks (Hens now I guess) that I very much doubt laid a white egg. A Midnight Majesty Marans (which has started laying dark red/brown). A Rhode island red, and a barred rock (which has also started laying light tan eggs unless it's really the Rhode island red are lighter than I am expecting). Do any of these other breads sometimes lay white eggs, or does my Easter egger just lay white? Will they possibly change to be more blue or green as she continues to lay?

Can you show your barred bird?

One of my EEs sometimes lay eggs that are so pale blue they look white unless you hold it up next to a white egg, and even then it can be hard to spot the difference. with mixed breed birds, you never know what you'll get for egg color. Idk if the egg color will change, but the eggs she lays may get larger with time.
 
Here are some (poor) pictures with the 4 of them. We got them all from a cal ranch store. For some reason I want to say they got the marans from Hoover hatchery but I am not sure of that.
