At what age do easter eggers develop green legs (if they're going to)?

[hallerlake]

I'd like to get some green egg layers at some point. If I understand correctly, the green egg layers will have green legs, but not necessarily right away. I don't have room for a large flock, so I don't want to get chicks that will give me more of what I have. Thank you.

Mine had them the day I bought them from the hatchery as day old chicks.

They should have them when they hatch I think.

Mine came that way...one set from a hatchery and one set from a lady here near by...

All along. Mine did anyway.

Mine too, though they do seem to get more/darker color as they mature.

The leg color is not a guarantee of egg color. 3 of my EEs had green legs from the day I bought them at 2 wks old. 1 has bright yellow legs ~ but could still give me blue eggs. My white EE had yellow legs until 2 wks and then they started changing to blue.

Yes that or wait until you get an egg.
