Back in April I bought what is supposed to be two parie blue egger chickens. I'm not sure if they are and I found a speckled non blue egg.

It looks like white earlobes, so I wouldn't expect that to be it's egg, but I don't know genetics well enough to know if that is possible or not.

Can you get an in focus pictures of the head, face, comb, and one of the body with nothing in the way?

Earlobe color does not reliably tell egg color in mixed-breed chickens.

In purebred chickens it sort-of works, because of what traits are found together in most breeds, but there are definitely exceptions there too (like Dorkings with red earlobes and white eggs, or Penedesencas with white earlobes and dark brown eggs, or Silkies with blue earlobes and white or off-white eggs.)

There is no genetic linkage or reason for egg color to have anything to do with earlobe color.
 
Which one is the rooster? I wasn't allowed to touch them at tractor supply, basically a employee grabbed the two they wanted. Which one do I have to redo on the picture?
