Easter Eggers or no??

[Mannie89]

These were sold to me as “barnyard mix straight run chicks.” When I went to pick them up the lady told me they were just a mix of all of her different breeds but she did say that some of them were just “Ameraucanas.” I’m almost certain I have one little rooster in the mix but hoping the rest are pullets. What are these chicks? Some have feathers on their feet...
Help!! Lol.

They look like exactly what you were told, mixes. They are a bit too young to sex yet.

Thank you! So, I’m betting that I’ll get a random mixture of egg colors in the spring... that’s kind of exciting and mysterious! Haha.

Does anyone know where the feathers on the feet come from? The woman told me but I can’t remember what she said!!

Could be cochins. You certainly will have a diverse and interesting flock.

Could be anything... Cochins, brahmas, French marans... There's several breeds with feathered legs and it could be any of those...
