Will get pictures of hazel eyes in a few.

Here's one that showed up best on my camera. Lighting was being an issue.

I just had a chick hatch that has one pink leg and one black/very dark blue leg. Its dad is an ayam cemani and mom is leghorn/game mix.

Sounds like a Chimera which are rare.

There's some grey on the hock of the pink leg.
Possibly unevenly colored, & the other leg will fill in with grey as it grows up.

I see a light toe on the dark foot, too.

It might just be a paint with spots that are oddly sized and strangely placed.

Or I agree, it might be a chimera, as you suggested before the picture was posted.

Hopefully it will become obvious as it grows, and not leave us puzzled forever.
