Chicken breeds with pink legs?

[Bound to Sea]

Just picking up on this thread now. My pullet is an EE. Pink legs! What could she be crossed with? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Look at Henderson's chart, and the breeds list from the hatchery she came from. The birds I have with white legs are Speckled Sussex.

I will look up Henderson chart, thanks. She didn't come from a hatchery. Farm.

It's Henderson's handy Dandy Breed Chart, not hard to google it.

Probably Easter Egger crossed with Easter Egger. Those are pretty common.

There are many breeds that could also be crossed with Easter Egger to get that result: too many to list or to make any reasonable guesses.

It looks like she has a rose comb, which is caused by the dominant Rose comb gene, so that would mean she has a parent with a rose comb, and a grandparent, and so on. Rose combs can be found in Wyandottes and Hamburgs and Sebrights and Dominiques and a number of other breeds. The rose comb gene is also found in breeds that show a walnut comb, such as Chantecler and Orloff and Silkie. I have no idea how many generations back you would have to go to find a purebred ancestor of one breed or another: could be a parent, could be many generations ago.

I was thinking could be Wyandotte/ sussex also. Very few of the other breeds common here. Thanks!

A Wyandotte/Sussex mix could look like the hen in the photo, but would have to lay brown eggs. Since the chicken was called an EE, I assumed that she lays blue or green eggs.

I guess I will see once she starts laying. She was sold to me as an EE. Thanks!!!

White legs are dominant, so she had at least one parent with white legs.
