Starlight blue eggers and whiting true blues are just a couple of the leghorn x Easter egger crosses hatcheries breed that have some similar traits. Then there’s legbars, though the father would’ve had to be a legbar mix to produce an unbarred daughter.View attachment 2944848View attachment 2944849This is the pullet that lays the blue eggs. She was hatched from a white egg. Can anyone see any traits that remind them of a blue egg laying breed?

Yes. She must have a lot of gamefowl blood. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t a cross, even if it happened a couple generations back.Leghorn and their crosses have rather large combs, white earlobes and yellow shanks. Easter Egger crosses many of them carry pea comb and beards

it could also be a spontaneous mutation, it would be the third one on that allele.Yes. She must have a lot of gamefowl blood. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t a cross, even if it happened a couple generations back.
It would be neat if that was the case, but I don’t see any way to know for sure. Therefore I think I have to presume something was mixed further up the chain unless evidence to the contrary could somehow arise. A previous mix would be the most likely explanation by odds alone.it could also be a spontaneous mutation, it would be the third one on that allele.
I agree, the only way to know if it's an allelic mutation(of Oocyan) it's with a full Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) Analysis.It would be neat if that was the case, but I don’t see any way to know for sure.
