Your second photo reminds me of one of my Azur Blues (Hendrix Genetics leghorn x Auracana). Robin egg blue eggs

My gal is actually splash in colour

But you can see the leghorn in her.

I have 4 young hens who just came into lay, well at least 3 laying now. Rural king had them labeled as ISA browns and White leghorns. I’m getting blue and Olive green eggs! The “white leghorns” look exactly down to the T like a leghorn, slender bodies on the smaller side of standard and white earlobes and yellow legs and feet. Large flopped over red combs. The brown hens are a golden brown fitting the looks of ISA brown but of course I know there are breeds like the start light eggers that look similar so that’s not as puzzling but I’ve never heard of a leghorn laying any color but white! Has anyone ever heard of this?

I just posted a thread with the same issue. Got some chicks from rural king back in the spring. I have 2 hens that are pure white (look just like leghorns). They lay blue eggs. If you look at their ear lobes, they have a slight blue hue to them. I have no clue what they are, but obviously mixed with arucauna or Americauna. Or I even thought maybe a rare type of legbar that is pure white.

Could you post photos of them? They probably are the frosted legbars or whatever the hatcheries call them.

Yep! I can see the tiny raised eyebrow feathers which usually indicate some sort of crest. I also think I see a little bit of raised feathers behind her comb. You got lucky getting a nice blue egg layer for the price of a normal leghorn!

The "ISA browns" are probably starlight green eggers if the eggs are olive color. The white ones are confusing...i'm not sure on them.
