What's going on with this 2 week old EEs feet? Toe color should have turned slate with the rest of it's leg color by now. View attachment 3162094View attachment 3162096

Oh wow, it’s like the printer ran out of ink abruptly and the toes missed out! Makes you wonder since they are pink at the exact same place on both feet!

The tips of the outer, left, & right toes are the same way also. It's definitely unique.

Updates on the Malays for you, @nicalandia.

3 weeks old.

Chick #1.

Chick #2. Big Fatty.

Bonus, chick #3. Scrawny slow to feather Wheaten pullet.

Fatty's legs look like they're turning a light green. Is this due to the Blue gene?

Hola. ¿Cómo se obtienen las damas de este color a partir de este padre/madre…?

Hola Nicalandia, como lograr animales hembras barrados rojizos igual a este, a partir de este macho?

If I were to make my own line of brown red Japanese bantams, what Japanese bantams would I cross together? I do have a male brown red Japanese, and my only Japanese females are a black mottled and a black white tailed. Is there any way to work with these?

I've seen photos of Japanese in "Gray," which appears to be Birchen (like Brown Red, but with the silver gene.) If you can get one of those hens, cross him to your Brown Red rooster, and the daughters should be Brown Reds. To get males, breed those females to either their father (100% Brown Red chicks) or to their brothers (50% Brown Red chicks, in both genders.) To actually get the right shade of brown or red might take more work, but this should give you chickens that are at least recognizably Brown Red.

If you need to work with your current hens, I'm not sure which one is the better choice, but you could probably work with either of them.
Breed the hen to your rooster, then breed daughters back to their father (the brown red rooster.) Hatch a bunch of those backcross chicks, and try to pick out some that are about right; then breed those among each other, or back to the original rooster. Compared with getting a gray (birchen) hen, this will probably take more generations, and hatching a lot more chicks, to get enough that are even close to the right color, but it should be possible.

Green shanks is the combination of Yellow Skin w and id+(sex linked dermal enhancer), Blue Shanks/Slate Shanks is the combination of White Skin W+and id+(sex linked dermal enhancer)
