Who wore it best?😂 Loving my Iowa blues already!

I went with Wyandotte because it’s the only hen I had with yellow legs in the breeding coop. This was my first time though so I’m thinking my lockup wasn’t long enough (3weeks) and I had a leghorn outside the run. (With yellow legs and white earlobes). So this was helpful, thank you!

Did you ever figure this out? I’m facing the same issue with my hhd 56

I just hatched one of these and would love to see a pic if you have one!

I have a friend dealing with this in a silkie. Did your chicken get better?
