    EE or Gold Star

    Just brought home these two lovely ladies... The one in the front was ordered as a RIR. Previous owner thinks she might be a wynadotte. I think she's either an EE (puffy cheeks and green legs), or a gold star (her coloring's right). What do you think? Would love your chickeny wisdom. :)

What do you...
