Her legs are pink so chances are good then! Many breeds are used to create olive eggers. You just need a dark brown egg laying parent and a blue egg laying parent. That is why there is such variety in the way they look. They are not a breed but rather a hybrid.Thank you! I had gotten her from a hatchery and she was said to be a Olive Egger.

Here is an example of a barred olive egger (from the internet):
They are a crested cream leg bar roo over BCM hen. They usually have a slight crest from the legbar father. The crest usually starts to develop around 4-5 weeks of age.
Could be yours. Where did you get her?
Another possibilty is a cuckoo marans crossed with an EE or ameraucana. Can also get barred offspring. These would not have a crest.
If your girl is a barred rock, then she should have clean yellow legs. I could not see this in your photos.
