What is the crossbreed of this EE? (pics)

What is the crossbreed of this EE? The lady I bought her from said that she is a 1 year old crossbreed. She lays a sky blue egg. Her name is Bailey.

Anyone?

Sorry, Maxx, no idea.

The eyes and earlobes remind me of my Buttercups.


Obviously the comb doesn't look so, but there's no beard to speak of, so could it be a tailed, non-tufted Araucana? That happens in the genetic spectrum of them, because the tufting and rumplessness don't breed 100% pure.

Here is one with that coloring, and an article discussing the genetics.

I don't really see anything that I'd attribute to anything other than Easter Egger. Since Easter Eggers are mutts to begin with, she could be "all Easter Egger" and the lady threw in "crossbreed" just to make sure she didn't misrepresent the hen as being pure something-or-rather. If I saw her not knowing anything about her, I'd have just called her an Easter Egger. That said, she looks faintly like she might have some Buttercup in her.

She is a lovely hen regardless of her ancestry, though!
