Thought she was a true blue

Not a California White. Those do not have any colors except white with the occasional black markings.

The Whiting true blues were bred from leghorn among other breeds. She may very well be a whiting true blue and then one of the 5% that do not lay blue eggs.
They vary quite a bit in appearance, so hard to tell by her looks.

Well if I start finding blue eggs I will know. Sadly the others have not started laying yet... Any day though

I thought so. She looks dirty but she is an off white with a few redder feathers under her throat.

Thanks for confirming that. I wondered if it was her color or if she had been sticking her head in a pumpkin.

Leghorn hybrid of some kind

She's a pretty girl, but Whiting Blue's have pea combs.

I saw it on their Instagram and they now have the link on their website but no pictures in it yet. I think they are the lemon lemons!
