Feathered legs on a EE chick?? PIC ADDED Umm, not EE's after all!!!!!!

[Pumpkinpup]

I hatched out two EE eggs for someone else. They brought me the eggs. One baby has featheres legs? Is that normal???? I just don't know as I have never had any of these.

Revised to say I found out these were not EE eggs but suposed to be true Ameracaunas...

Everything is normal on a EE chick. THey are not a breed just mutt chickens that lay colored eggs. REmember it hatched from a EE egg the roo daddy way be a cochin.

That's the fun with EE's. They are not pure bred. They are mutts and have a wide genetic background to pull from. You never can predict what will hatch from those eggs.

Thanks for the scoup! I have NO experience with EE's at all so didn't know what to expect, lol. It was just a surprise. It's a cute little buggar!

When I used to raise Ameraucanas (and I mean true Ameraucanas), I had one chick that hatched with a few feather stubs on her legs. They were from good lines, so no idea why that popped up. Just a fluke, I guess. With EEs, anything goes, of course.

Well news flash, I was just informed that these were suposed to be true Ameracanas as well, oops! Not sure now
