We were given some hatching eggs by a young man who told us that they were from his grandfather's flock of Araucanas.
We've never seen the chickens, but couldn't resist the temptation to see what we might discover when they hatched.
Well, we got 7 or 8 chicks of assorted colors, some blue/grey with dark grey almost black legs, and some yellow with bits of grey or brown in them. These have flesh colored legs.
Some of the chicks have little tufts of feathers growing out of the legs, some are clean legged, and others might have just one little feather sticking out of the leg.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I'm writing from work right now, but will try to post pics tomorrow when I'm home.
