Love this young hen! Got her from some friends who thought initially that she is a Blue Andalusian. But now they think she might be a blue Americauna. She has white ear lobes but lays a pale blue egg. Beautiful hen - everyday layer. Any idea what breed she might be?


 
She's probably a mixed breed. I had leghorn/ee crosses that had white lobes but laid green eggs. With that long tail, wouldn't surprise me if she's an Andalusian/ee cross.
 
Rita is a mix. She probably has some Blue Andalusian or Blue Sumatra in her, as well as some Ameraucana or Easter Egger.

I suspected she might be a mix, so this is helpful. One way or another, she is such a pretty girl and we love her.
Thanks for your input!
