Picked up 3 chics from TSC today in a mixed breed bin with Black sex links and golden comets and *arucanas* Two are darker with greenish grey feet, one is lighter with beautiful markings on her wings but orange feet..Can she still be an EE with orange feet??
Which I know is truly just EE but *squeel* I was o get a couple EE and this is easier than ordering too many from hatchery: ) Cross your fingers there are still some there when I go tonight, and that I pick pullets lol- Any tips on pullets over cockerals?
