Do we know what this girl is??

White legs are the standard for OEGBs.

Do you have the link to the Hatchery?

It was chicks someone got this spring, from https://dunlaphatcherypoultry.com/
I saw them at a few weeks old, and only one of the OEGB had white legs while the other three had obvious yellow legs. Also, two of six Wyandotte bantams in the same order had single combs. So probably not the place to order from if you want chickens that are correct according to the breed standards, but this person just wanted some cute bantams, so not a problem for them.

The picture of the Cockerel was obscured, so I believe they took the picture from someone else, & attempted to disguise it through editing.

She's definitely a standard sized chicken.

I got her from mcmurray hatchery.

Then most likely a Single Comb Brown Leghorn (which will lay white eggs.)

But there's a chance of her being a Welsummer (would lay brown eggs.)

And a slim chance that she could be a Black Breasted Red Modern Game, although I think probably not.

I think those are the only options for that color pattern, single comb, standard size at McMurray Hatchery.

For the yellow-legged OEGB chicks, I was going by ones I actually saw in person, not by what the hatchery picture showed. I always assume the pictures show the best bird that was available at the time, not the typical birds sent out by the particular hatchery :D

Okay, that makes more sense.

Modern Games do have leg coloring that does vary from Yellow, Green, & Slate.
I gotta check what the standard is for them.

The bird in question doesn't have legs that long.

Brown leghorn is more likely.
