OK - black. I'm happy with that. Yes, he/she has sturdy legs. He/she is also my biggest baby when picked up. It's really comical since the small ameraucanas hardly make a sound. Thanks for all the imput.
OK - this is one of the orpingtons that I hatched. I had originally thought it was black, but now I'm thinking it's a splash. What do you think? Oh, tell me it's a pullet too.
