She walks and perches and scratches bedding just fine, but her legs have turned blue gray. She is a delaware, and her feet used to be orange. What is going on with this chick?
 
Hmm, can we see a picture of what you mean? Can't really say until we see exactly what you're seeing.

Delawares should have yellow legs, which start out orangey, but some can have a dusky wash on them, making them appear almost greenish. That is not the correct color but is a common issue in some hatchery lines.

I can't post a pic from my phone, but my chick's feet are slightly grayish green. Dusky, like you said. I don't mind if her feet are weird, I love her all the same because she's family. She will be ok, right?
