This is a 3 month old Pullet..... does anyone recognize the breed?

will she lay colored eggs even though her legs are flesh?

I have another photo that might help.....
 
Looks like a see a beard in those first two pics...I am thinking Easter Egger. She should lay one color of an assortment -- what what I understand a chicken will always lay the same color, so if she starts laying blue, she will always give you blue (or pink or green, etc). In EEs the legs do not have to be green for them to produce colored eggs.
 
Where did you get her from? Most hatcheries sell 'americanas', which are actually Easter Eggers (EE). EE's don't have to have green legs, that's one common misconception. Since EE can be either pure ameraucanas of mixed color, or ameraucana/araucana mixed with something else, they can be any number of colors, feathers and legs.

It's hard to say what color eggs she will lay, part of that depends on what color egg she hatched from, and another part of that depends on what color egg her father hatched from. Does she have a pea comb or a straight comb (looks kind of straight, but I can't see it very well). The reason I ask is that it is thought that EE's with pea combs are more likely to lay 'colored' eggs. Colored could be anything from light green to blue. Some EE's lay an egg that looks pink, and some are just brown-eggers.

Hope this helps

ETA: Looking at the pics again, she does appear to have a pea comb. So she could possibly lay green or blue eggs.

She looks like an EE to me too. As for egg color, well, the leg color doesn't matter, but EEs can lay green, blue, brown or pink eggs.

Sorry...I'm not much help. She is really pretty though!
