Ok... well We will know for sure in a few months! The eggs were blue for sure. I'm excited to see the outcome. Thanks for your sleuthing help!

yes, I had one Buff Orpington. " Big Red" but I honestly can't recall if she was alive when these chicks were born, but her son RUSTY is likely the dad of the first two hens (Little Gold Coins and Queenie). Would that work?? Otherwise- one way to tell for sure, is I wait until they are laying...

Ok great. SO.. Little Gold Coins is the darker feathered bird in the top two photos. She is gold and black, white earlobes (I think she has lots of Legbar in her?) and Queenie is the caramel/ginger coloured bird behind her and in 3rd photo. she has a rose comb. (flat with little spikes up all...

@Amer -If I post photos of the hens would you be able to tell me? I really really want to get to the bottom of this.

The 3 black ones are from one hen (Little Gold coins) the other eggs were from the trio. (I removed her and put her into the holiday pen while continuing to collect eggs from...

So you're saying its not as simple as one bird has yellow legs the other has green legs so offspring will have all green. or 50% green, or something like that. Seems more complicated than I was hoping. LOL I have a green legged rooster. His genetics are a bit of a mystery since I bought him as...

Is there a leg chart, or can someone tell me which leg colours are most dominant to least dominant? Thanks
