First of all, I’m sorry the quality of the pictures are bad. She wouldn’t stand still. This is Jewel. She is 5 months old. I purchased her as a Plymouth Blue Rock which didn’t take long to realize that was wrong. She’s a solid blue. She has a single comb, muff, beard and lays small pinkish, brown eggs. She has a light slate color to the front of her legs. I’ve been thinking either an Easter egger or a poorly bred americauna. The comb and egg color is really throwing me. I can try to get a closeup of her comb tomorrow if needed but it’s absolutely single. I have 4 older Easter eggers so I know what a pea comb is. She went broody 3 days ago and is currently sitting on 4 fertile eggs. I’ve only been a chicken mom for a year and a half so not familiar with all breeds so I’m leaving it up to you experts. I hope someone can help me solve this mystery. Thank you all in advance.

I'm not an expert, but by what you describe, about egg color, I had an EE that layed similar color. Pinkish, and the color would sometimes vary, I suppose due to the food they ate. (while free ranging) The blue may very well come from a Blue Rocks' genes. So my guess is ,,,,,, mix of those two.
Lets see what others think. :old

So even though she doesn’t have a pea comb, I would call her an Easter Egger which is technically a mixed breed that lays different colored eggs. She is a very pretty hen!😊
 
Thank you both. That was my 1st thought but I’ve read somewhere that bad americauna breeding could cause a straight comb with brown eggs. That’s what’s had me so confused, along with her going broody Out of 6 pullets, only 3 were what I originally thought I was purchasing. She’s the only one I couldn’t figure out. I’ll go with the Easter Egger. She is a beautiful girl.
 
Stock and field which was Big R store. I have been unable to find out their breeder. Everyone I’ve asked in the store doesn’t know. Hoping to eventually talk to someone in there with knowledge.
