EEs

[chickensforkids]

Do all EEs have bluish/greenish feet? I ordered one EE and I have one chick with the bluish/greenish feet, and then I have a bonus chick that looks like a EE in coloring, but the feet are orange. Are there any other kinds of chicks that resemble an EE, but would have orange feet?

Sometimes, they have dark colored legs at hatch and sometimes they get darker and turn greenish when they get to be a few weeks old. However, several other breeds could look similar to what you're describing. A photo might help identify your chick but you might just have to wait a couple months to see what you have.

There are many breeds with chipmunk patterned chicks. Speckled Sussex, brown Leghorns , Phoenix, and Wyandottes come to mind. A picture would help.

Greenish legs are the most common color with EEs, but since they are hybrids bred by crossing blue egg layers with any number of different brown egg layers, they can have legs that are other colors as well. If you can get a pic posted, we would be happy to take a look at your orange legged bird. )
