Purple/Blue Underbelly

[Tretinker]

One of our chicks has purple/blue belly fluff! Any ideas why this cream legbar would look like this, she is 7 days old.

We don't think she had it when she joined us.

She's eating, drinking and pooping normally. Playing with her chick buddies, there has been no change.

That’s odd, Is she from a hatchery? They sometimes mark certain breeds with different colors so you can tell them apart.

That's the strange thing, she isn't! She was one of 6 cream legbar hatched and the only girl. So stood out anyway. I'm surprised we didn't spot it sooner if the breeder did mark her though.
