Awesome thanks youI don’t think she’s a silkie mix judging by her single comb, a cream legate mix is still most likely.

Yes, I’ve seen several with single combs, but the lack of silkie traits other than the crest makes me think this isn’t likely to be a silkie cross.Not to be argumentative, but I have had silkies with single combs.
If she is an olive egger, that is what color eggs she will lay. There may be some slight variation in how light or dark her eggs are through a laying season, with her darkest eggs coming in the spring when she first starts to lay each year, and gradually getting lighter until she goes into molt in the fall and stops laying for the winter. But she is never going to lay a pink egg or a green or blue egg.We were told she is an olive egger but has the chance to lay colourful eggs sometimes
Checked under her wings and her skin is pink, but her legs a quite black and so are parts of her faceYes, though she does appear to have some fibromelanin going on in the shanks, beak and face. Curious what color skin she has? Can you check under the wings for skin color @briannajustine ?
Awesome, yeah the lady we got her from was a bit confusing and I don’t know if she 100% knew what she was haha. I don’t mind at all what eggs she lays, I’ve just been curious as I haven’t seen a hen that looks like her beforeIf she is an olive egger, that is what color eggs she will lay.

Here’s a couple more pics I snapped of her today that might show her better! Don’t mind at all what she is, I’ve just been curious as she’s quite pretty and I haven’t seen a chicken that looks like her before!View attachment 2850029View attachment 2850030
