I bought some hatching eggs from 2 different sources online and got 4 from my neighbor to finish filling the incubator. I marked the eggs so I would know which hatched and which didn't. I had 3 hatch from my neighbor (they are red or red mixed). 5 from one source that are all black ayam cemanis. The others that hatched are supposed to be german bielefelders. the guy said he keeps all his in separate pens so no cross breeding. Some of mine have yellow feet. some have white. I have no idea if this is normal or not. Also the boys are striped with brown and have a spot on their heads as chicks and the girls are yellow. I thought I had a bunch of boys when they were hatched and only a few girls. But there are more differences in them other than the feet. One roo has white feet, lots of green on his tail, and longer feathers on his head/neck area that are really redish orange in color. the other 4 (2 of which have white feet, 2 have yellow) are very similar to each other but 2 have more yellowish/orange and white 2 have more brown black and white on their bodies they all have black and white striped tails. the one with the orangish has a bit of everything on him. The 3 that I thought were my GB hens don't look anything like them, and I didnt think they were supposed to, from a pic I found online. But I did get a pic of them today where they resemble the orangish roo…. I will post that pic first. the last 4 pictures are stock pics off the internet. they look all different to me to, so maybe my orangish one just matured faster? except I don't see green anywhere and still don't know about the yellow vs white feet ?.

I guess the pictures posted backwards from how I uploaded them.
Yeah it does that sometimes.
If the eggs you incubated are actually from a German Bielefelder imported stock then this may be the best that the breeder has at the moment. So I wouldn’t be too upset with the birds you got.
 
so the different color feet is normal? what about the green on the really orange ones tail?
No the breeder should be culling birds from his breeding flock with the wrong breed traits. He may have a mix of yellow legged and white legged birds and he needs to use the white legged birds because they may have good shape or coloring.
