Feathered Feet Genetic Question

[sunnie7]

I just hatched this cutie from the egg I believe my Ameraucana Hen x EE rooster (my only rooster). I only have 1 Ameraucana in my flock and no other colored egg layer that’s laying yet. However I can’t figure out where the feathered feet came from?! Only feathered feet in my flock are 2 light Brahmas and a Cochin. I hatched a few of their offspring last fall and none had feathered feet....?

Offspring from last fall:

Do you know the parents of the EE? EE could have any breed in the mix.

I hatched the EE rooster from eggs from a breeder that had tons of different breeds. So it’s possible for the feathered feet to show up in some offspring and not others?

She has the most beautiful blue tone I ever seen! Both hen and chick!

Thank you!!! She also came from the local breeder I got several eggs from. She was a very pleasant surprise! She’s a bossy thing though! The color of the new chick is even more beautiful in person!
