"Majesty maran" but laying blue

[JuniperGreen]

Hii! I was advised to post here, because my "midnight majesty maran" was the last of my chickens to start laying eggs, and she has been laying BLUE!
In my first thread it was suggested by her look that she may be mixed. So I'm hoping to get some clarity here.

I don't mind her being mixed, we aren't in it for purebred! We have loved raising them. I'll attach photos of her and if anyone needs more info let me know! Thanks


Note : before I'm asked, it is 100% her laying these eggs. My husband even caught her this morning. But on top of that, we only have the three chickens and the other two have been laying for weeks already before she started. And in the last half a week they've also all laid on the same day together. No mystery to whose fluffy butt is producing them!

Who said she was a Maran? She has the wrong comb, wrong lobe color and wrong skin color to be a Marans.
With yellow shanks and blue eggs imo she's not even half Marans.

The store we bought from listed her as one, but really, the lady working that day didn't seem that confident about anything and we have never raised chickens before so we just accepted it

She looks more like she might be a Prairie Bluebell Egger. She looks like a nice chicken. Nice eggs, too.

Then she was from a hatchery and I have no clue what she could be except something labeled as an Easter Egger

Idk anything about prairie bluebell Eggers but I agree those are nice looking blue eggs

That's a first I've heard of that! The other commentor mentioned EE, which my red chicken is. There was a bin of "coloured layers", but no specific list of what was stocked that day. I'm looking now at the supplier website that they were stocking from and Prairie bluebell is on there, so it's possible.

Yeah, the Prairie Bluebell Egger is an Araucana, White Leghorn cross and the earlobes and looks remind me of my Prairie Bluebells. Since they are a hybrid, they come in all different colors.

She looks like a healthy hybrid/mix and her egg is gorgeous.

The feed stores are notorious for not knowing what the chicks are, their customers also like to just slip the previosly handled chicks back into the tubs without checking the accurate labels, but also there can be mix-ups happening at the hatchery already.

Yeah, she was the only black chick in her tub. Same with her sister, my red EE. She was the last in her bin. The rest of the chicks looked like chipmunks, yellow, or grey like my olive egger. The lady had said there might have been mixed up chicks in the bin. We didn't expect to leave the store with so little information on the breed
My olive egger we were told was an EE as well. And I don't know, maybe she is. But she's been laying olive consistently and she's got a hat on her head and no fluffy cheeks
