Sussex? What breed is my chook?

[bellz15]

What color are those legs? With the exposure in the picture I can't tell if those are more slate or greenish

I mean I would say more towards grey/slate but I'm not really sure what a green legged chicken looks like What does it indicate? (Thanks for your response btw)

Figured I meant to what options?

Ahah I guess I'm an idiot then. It's the middle of the night so I'll check the feet in the morning. Can you please tell me what that indicates? Thanks

Not at all, you were making a guess. Sussex, even in buff variety, will be white skinned/legged. Your girl is more red toned than buff with regards to color.
The feet bottoms reveal skin color in birds that have dark wah over the legs....showing through with yellow, white, etc color that helps narrow breed

Oh and here's what a green legged chicken looks like. You can see my first EE cockerel has more of a slate color whereas the wheaten EE has a very distinct green
