Hello! Does anyone know what breed this chick is? He/she is a month old today and hatched from an large unmarked green egg that we ordered. He/she is very big and has furry legs (but not furry feet). Thank you so much!

Barnyard mix. People trying for olive eggs usually cross a Marans with Ameraucana (or Legbar). The resulting chicks would have white skin and hatch from a blue egg. This one could just as easily have a Cochin and an EE a couple generations back.

Cross. Probably with EE and Marans. Wait until six weeks, then post more pictures of its comb for the gender.

But the legs are yellow. ma was an olive egger so her shanks should not have been yellow. Do leg color traits carry to the next generation? If so this is a cockerel and dad had yellow legs
