Golden laced wyandottes??

Honestly my first thought is blue Marans. What hatchery did she come from? I don't think she's an EE, with the straight comb and white looking skin.

I got her from North 40 farm store, I don t know where they ordered from. I was supposed to get to 2 sussex. one light grey chick died at 2 weeks old. It's possible she would have looked like this one also. I didn't even know about the blue Maran breed let alone order them, but that doesn't mean I didn't end up with one or two. Haha...I've got a mystery bird.

Looks like it might be a Blue Andalusian. They are a lot more common than Marans. Just about every hatchery in North America has them.

I just looked up pics of blue andalusians and I think it's very possible that's exactly what she is.

Easter Eggers have green legs and feet. All three look like Easter Eggers to me.

With that background, Andalusian is the most likely suspect. If that's what she is, she'll get nice white earlobes and lay white eggs.

The last bird, the blue one, does not have green legs. Her skin that's visible at her toes looks white/pink to me, why I was thinking Marans. I know "Easter eggers" can look like anything, but hatchery EE have a certain look to them, and the blue bird does not look at all like a hatchery EE. Straight comb, solid blue color, clean face, light skin, all those are against type.

Thank you donrae! (I think Mouchie1961 may have been referring to one of the top pictures in my post because there are (it has been determined) 3 EE's in those pictures?).
