What breed is my bantam hen? Having second guesses...

Here are some more pictures of her...

This one just cracks me up! :lol:
 
Local to me these are generally sold as Bantam Blue Ameraucana(from a hatchery-Privett I think, and those are known to come with blue/slate legs)... But Bantam Blue EasterEgger is more appropriate.

I nearly got myself a little flock of them last spring, but decided to stick with my spangled/speckled(oegb and sussex) flock instead. Maybe I'm just not a very big fan of beards... unless on silkies, the more fluff the merrier!

She is a lovely little hen, and seems very sweet.
Anyway, now you know what to look for if you want to get her some matching flock mates.
 
Thank you goosegrrl! This is great information. I love Sussex chickens, we have one speckled hen. Button is very sweet, and maybe we will get her some more bantam Americaunas/EE's to get some little blue or green eggs.
