Recently we took in over 30 chickens of mixed breed. I really need help identifying some of them. I do know at least one of the breeds is giving me a true blue egg.

None of the birds above should be laying blue eggs.

Mix breed. Has a barred parent somewhere.
Sorry I was not able to put all the pictures up (dead battery).
4: The bird in the center is likely your blue egg layer. She looks like a possible Crested Cream Legbar.

@GoldenChicks16 I am seeing a bunch of roos here. You may need to consider getting rid of some of the roos. A ball-park ratio is 1 roo to 8 hens.

Too many roos is streesful for the flock. Hens will be fought over and over-bred, and fighting can get fierce.
 
Agree on the above--OEG, buff Orp, mixed breed rooster, crested cream Legbar pullet. That last one may not be a "correct" color for the breed, but I'm pretty sure she's your blue egg layer unless you have obvious Ameraucanas or EE.
