Mystery chick

[paddyro]

My first hatch! Just hatched 10 little babies from Chicken Scratch Poultry of the following breeds:
Araucana
Ameraucana
Light Sussex
Blue-Laced Red Wyandotte
French Blue Marans

And ended up with one mystery chick! Yellow with a dusting of gray - feathered legs! The only one of the entire group! Any ideas?

I forgot to mention - came from a dark brown egg. I thought it was a Marans until it hatched...

It is so adorable but, I have no idea what it could be...out of a dark brown egg!

The only thing close I could find was a Lavender Orpington - which the breeder carries, but the Orpingtons don't typically have feathered feet. Light Brahmas are similar as well, but the breeder doesn't list those on her site as a breed she carries.

That chick looks blue or splash to me...lavendar would be another possibility.

Maybe it's the French Blue Marans?

I have one of those too, but it is black like this one below (example). None of the breeds I ordered are suppose to have feathered feet. I don't mind at all - the mystery is the fun of it! I just want a pretty basket of eggs. Hope it isn't a roo!!

I thought some Marans have feathered legs

They have blue copper marans on their website, im guessing its one of those, but splash
