breeds with Green Legs other than EE

[Sonoran Silkies]

Polish should have slate legs, not willow.

 

[M To The Maxx]

My tophats have blue green legs.

 

[DTchickens]

American game, EEs, Buttercups, Old english games (Oxfords), i think some oriental gamefowl, and basically any birds when you cross yellow legs with blue legs (or that's how i've heard green legs are "created")..

 

[Southerngirl]

Buttercups, EE's and White Giants have willow green legs with a yellow foot pad.

 

[Princess Lay-a]

Do EEs ALWAYS have green legs?

Speaking of this, I tried looking up "hatch" in the gamefowl standard and I couldn't find it.
Anyone know where this would be?

Then they're not Polish.

LF Araucanas too. . . Although it should be willow, not "green."


A lot of mutts, not just EE's, can have green legs. Often crossing yellow to black, yellow to slate, etc can create a green effect.

I have Pyncheon Bantams...They have WILLOW legs (green).....any other color to DQ at a show. Polish with any color leg other than blue slate are crossed or not pure. EE's can have pretty much any color of leg or egg...for that matter. They are NOT Standard bred birds and you never really know what's going to hatch from them. Buttercups and a few rarer European breeds do have Willow legs.

Some Seramas have green legs, although breeders are suppossed to be steering away from them, in favor of yellow or swarthy. In this breed, it seems to be passed on like sex-linked recessive.
