No, they have willow green shanks. I have 3 of em, so I went out to look before I said anything against you.

LOL! Isn't willow-green just a green tinted yellow?

This reminds me of taking my color-blind husband shopping for paint colors. "Honey, do you like Roasted Pepper or Tomato Bisque?" "What color are they?" "Red." "Well, if they're both red then does it really matter?"

And the answer is... to chicken people it does! Heheh!

Sure looks alot more green than yellow. And if we're trying to figure out breed, than yes, it does matter. Don't want to confuse anyone.

hillbilly, what camp ground do you live on? Been camping alot this summer. Grand kids love it and it's fun to spend the time with them.

Willow is yellow skin with slate legs I believe, giving the appearance of green. Willow legs are required in some breeds, like the araucana. Yellow is a recessive color in chooks.

giving the appearance of green...bottom line.

Is anyone else being attacked by swarms of mosquitos, or is it just Washtenaw County? We literally can not go outside today (or yesterday) without getting swarmed within seconds by a huge pack of mosquitos. This morning I was out for about 5 minutes WITH bug spray on and still had them literally all over me - maybe 50 of them, it was insane. A bunch of my friends in the area have the same issue at the moment, just wondering how wide spread this is. I've never had mosquitos this bad before. Blech.

That coop was built entirely from scrape materials which dictated it size. I've added an additional 6' on to it making it much more functional. I am seriously considering building a new one. After the addition
