Hi all, I just started a new flock with 16 chicks. I know what the majority are, but this one chick has me stumped😋 anyone know what she is.

Where did you get this little cutie? That would help us narrow down breed options.

I have never seen a feather legged breed in that color before, maybe someone else can tell us

I got a group of 10 from my local feed store. 4 brahmas, 2 golden sexlink, and 2 random.

A blue/Grey Maran?

A blue/Grey Maran?

Possibly! She has identical beak to my Black Austalorp...

Might be some kind of Olive Egger--they're often a cross of two breeds (one that lays blue eggs, one that lays dark brown eggs.) Marans are fairly common in those crosses, and some Marans have feathered feet, so some Olive Eggers do too.

If you ask what hatchery supplied them, then check that hatchery's site, or call, to narrow down your choices.
Adorable!

Here she is now, at 6 weeks. She's almost 2x the size of my speckled sussex of the same age.
