Something is not right . The only answer to all the things that are wrong is your black rooster is really a charcoal blue EE . I will list each trait that gives it away . First the blue could not be unless the rooster is a very dark blue that looks black . This can happen . Second there can be no single combs or beardless chicks if he is pure . So he only has 1 copy of pea comb and 1 copy of beard . Now to the yellow skin and legs . This is a recessive trait meaning your rooster is carrying 1 gene for yellow skin . The only other explanation is you are mistaken about the parentage . I hope this explains the mystery for you .I have a question is it posible that barred plymouth rock female and a black ameraucana rooster to make blue off springs and black and barred color because mine did give me on solid black hen beardless peacomb black legs and yellow under toes +1 barred blue single comb black yellow legs with yellow under toes hen+ 1 blue beardless peacomb black legs yellow under toes hen and a bearded barred color rooster with yellow legs and i just got my blue ameraucana ( my blue ameraucana are to young to mate 3 months old and are held alone in an other coop)
So question is can they produce blue chicks? Because every book and site visit says only barred and black would be obtaind form that mating black AM rooster with a BPR Hen. Here are 2 pictures of the barred EE and the Blue EE from that mating
Fading of leg color is common on hens during the laying cycle . Yellow legs fade like in white Leghorn hens . The hen or single barred cockerel leg color can be very good . I have had progress on slate legs by selecting males at 6 months or more . That is when leg color can change to white due to barring . Your jungle fowl cross is what happens to yellow legs when 1 copy for yellow skin is present . Recessive .
