What Breed is my Chicken?

[tt1912]

It's crazy how long I've had this girl but never knew what breed she was. I never knew where my mom got her from or the person who sold it to her long ago even told her. But she's my baby and I'm really curious to know what breed she is! Can anyone help me out?

Some sort of legbar mix

What color eggs does she lay?

 

[tt1912]

theyre blueish/greenish eggs

Yes, she's a Crested Cream Legbar mix. So is the other hen in the first photo, it's neat how they're identical!

Since she lays blue/green eggs, and is the wrong color for any pure breed of chicken that lays that color, she must be an Easter Egger.

Easter Eggers can come in just about any color, size, and shape.

She might come from many generations of breeding Easter Egger to Easter Egger, or she might come from a recent mixing of pure breeds. She might be part Cream Legbar, since she has some traits in common with that breed (traits like single comb, blue egg gene, little crest behind the comb.)

Thank you! they used to be triplets until one of them died last year. i genuinely had no way of telling them apart before because they were so similar lol

She’s probably the specific mix called a Sapphire Olive Egger

Looks like a Prairie Bluebell to me. Not a breed, a brand name.
