You're right. I forget that their skin is opposite of ameraucana.

So she's a rumpless mutt?

It's likely. Nothing wrong with mutts, though. My EEs are some of my best layers.

The dog mutts in my life have always lived the healthiest long lives and been very good dogs in obedience, ect. So far she's a good layer! I get a minty egg from her every other day.

Scarily, my very best layers are the silkies. They lay like mad when they aren't broody. Unfortunately, there is usually at least one broody and they will try and hatch all the eggs if I'm not diligent. I'd be up to my eyeballs in silkies.

I have a silkie/Dorking that lays just about every day it seems. Must be a silkie trait.
When she learned I was there too take her eggs, she disappeared for 17 days. Turns out she found a way to get into the wall and was sitting on eggs. Stupid broody chickens.

LMAO! Oh they are sneaky things that love to hatch eggs. They know I'm going to take them and start growling as soon as they see me.

Here's another piece of weirdness with my Araucana mutt. One day blue egg all the way through, another day blue egg with white inside!

And yes, for sure she's my only blue layer.

I think I have said I don't want a rooster or hatching or any of that. Do you think my bards at some point will become broody?
does this happen with age? a certain time of year?
