They will get darker as the chicks age, and their muffs will come in as well.

It's the whole Wheaten coloring that makes them look off as chicks.

Cubalaya are white legged and born with yellow/pink colored legs.

Robin, that is a very nice pic.

I would say do what you like.
OEG's have the most diverse colors.
I love the Blue Golden Duckwing colors in the OEG's.
I think chickens that have contrasting colors are the best for eye candy.
We appreciate what you are doing for us.

They were talking to people at the Vietnam Memorial that was on display at Shawnee.
The guy looked a lot like you and had the same first (real) name.
They didn't give his last name.
