Not a Cream Legbar but what is she?

[Sarahs Hens]

So I recently got this little 5 month old hen. The guy that sold her to me said she came from a farm store as a chick that she was a cream legbar (and I think that store uses the Meyer hatchery). She started laying this week but the eggs are a light brown not a blue. So now I'm wondering what she is? She has more of a brown coloring than the typical but she still has the little fluffy crest, white ears and that cute little whisker like feather between her eye and her ear. She must have some other breed in her but I'm not skilled enough at this to figure it out. Any ideas? How do 'oopses' happen in the hatchery?

She looks like an Olive Egger. Likely has some cream leg bar in her. About 5% of these will lay a brown egg instead of green
She is possibly what is known as a Partridge Olive Egger, which are half Welsummer and half crested cream leg bar.

Here's a photo of her in different light when I picked her up... this looks a lot like the photo you included.

That’s one of my OEs, Aiya, from Cackle hatchery.

I’d call her a mutt, because she doesn’t lay olive eggs.
She does likely have Olive Egger in her heritage, I agree. But I’d call her a mutt. All Olive eggers are mutts, but a mutt is only an Olive Egger if it lays olive eggs. Does that make sense?

Yes it does!

Cackle hatcheries description of them is quite amusing as they say “97% will lay a green egg”. Seems like such a random number, I guess they’re just covering themselves in case people get one that lays brown like the OPs bird.

I personally see a very light olive drab colored egg. Definitely not olive, but it doesn't look brown to me.
