Definitely not any Easter Egger I've ever seen. What color does she lay?

blueish green

blueish green

Okay, she's definitely an Easter Egger then. Not a Calico Princess, she looks like one though.

I want to bring out this ugly brown leg color into my Malays, but would like to know what would be the best way of doing so? I know it's linked with Wheaten.
(Big Fatty's legs) She's my oddball Malay pullet.

Splash, Partridge.

I had two chicks from a houdan mother and assumably straight comb father, both had weird combs. They looked to start off straight-comb, but split into two sectors up towards the end, before one sector “ended” and it had one final point back in the center like a straight comb. Maybe this is a weird way to describe it, but I’m trying my best given I already sold the chicks and only have a few good photos of one chick.

Any clue what caused this or why their combs were weird?

They have the Duplex Gene.

Houdan has duplex comb (split in two).

Crossing it to a rooster with a straight comb produced chicks that have genes for both comb shapes, and the comb is sort-of in between: single in the front, split in the back.

I think @JacinLarkwell had some chicks with similar combs a while back.

That's what a heterozygous V comb looks like

I am also hatching chicks from these gals.

Love your Calico Princess hen.

She has a crest, she’s a legbar mix Easter egger
