breeds with Green Legs other than EE

[faykokoWV]

Anyone know of other breeds that have green legs other than the easter eggers?

I recently learned (per feathersite) that the Egyptian Fayomi's have slate blue or "willow green" legs and I was wondering what other breeds might.

Bantam breeds with willow legs include araucana, buttercup, modern game (several varieties), pyncheon, sumatra (blue & white varieties). Several other breeds list swarthy yellow and horn, which one could interpret as being somewhat green or willowish, although that is technically incorrect.

I figured that, but figured there might be some large breeds w/o bantam counterparts that have willow legs

so, would it be acurate to say when trying to identify mystery chicks that a chick with green legs could be one of these breeds or mixed with one of these breeds.

My next question then is if a chick is half buttercup and half.. oh lets say BO, the resulting chick would be a mixed chicken but not an EE right?

What a clever person you are

You are right, green legs does not necessarily mean EE. A cross between two green legged birds would give green legs, as well as a cross between a bird with black or blue legs and one with yellow if the black/blue leggged birds also carries a copy of the gene for yellow legs.
