Green Legged Chicken. Question? Picture included.

[Pokes79]

I got this chicken as the additional exotic chicken with my order from McMurray. I asked a few weeks ago and was told that he/she is an EE, but it doesn't act or look like any of the EEs I ordered. In the order I bought EEs and Black Stars and this weirdo came....that looks and acts nothing like my EEs but it does have green legs. Are there any chicken breeds with green legs?

i asked that same question a few weeks ago, here's the thread.


BB Modern Game?

It's kind of a mystery bird, isn't it? Modern games do have green legs, but they are such a tall skinny bird - this one doesn't look like the gamebirds on feathersite.

It's body shape & color does like look an easter egger to me (an EE cockerel), but its face does not. I've never seen an EE with a red face. The face looks more like a dark cornish face (shape & color), but it's obviously not a dark cornish. What type of comb does it have. Is it a pea comb or a rose comb? If you're not sure, can you take a photo of the comb and maybe a more recent pic too?

I am out of town for a couple weeks, but I will take a picture when i get back to see if he looks any different. He is only about 10 weeks old now.

I see a pea comb and a beard. I say Easter Egger.

I think EE...

Maybe it acts different because its a rooster?

 

[Dustin Biery]

Looks like some sort of game cross. That bird doesn't have a beard.

 

[countrygirl4513]

It favors the Wyandotte that came with mine many years ago.

I agree that there is no beard, but it resembles my EE's (in it's body & tail).

Yeah EEs don't always have a beard...So it is possible... But there are other breeds with green legs. Let go find that thread...
