What breed is my chicken? She is pure white with red comb and waffles and yellow feet. Lays blue eggs. White Americauna or white legbar?

Looks like a Sapphire which is an F1 hybrid of Cream Legbar rooster and White Leghorn hen. They may or may not have a small crest depending on whether the rooster used has two crested genes or only one. McMurray's hatchery sells them as White Sapphires and advertises them as being crested.

If it was a White Legbar, the egg would be a darker blue and it would have a crest.

If it was an Ameraucana it would have a pea comb, not a single comb.

Thanks for the info. First year with chickens and rural king has already given me a few surprises. These were on obviously labeled white legbars. I was thinking ameraucanas had darker legs.
