For a long time, i have been completely in the dark about my chicken Isbes breed! I was told she is a green legged partridge, but upon looking it up, i get very few images of what slightly resemble her, and mostly quail!

So, is she a green legged partridge, a mix, or something else? Does green legged partridge even exist as a true breed, or is it just rare? Thanks! (She lays cream eggs, and is a year old. Large chicken, lays large eggs!)

Sorry for the multiple chickens in the shot, but its night and this is all i have right now. (She is on the left)

Aswell as that, heres Rizo, what i believe is a black sex link. Only thing is, she laid much later then they are suppose to lay. And her egg color is a pinkish brown to a true brown egg, but she is consistant

She has black or dark grey shanks, with a pink bottom.

I'm almost thinking EE for Isbe. Based on slate legs? Could easily be wrong, some kind of mix though.
I believe they are both mixes, not sure about Rizo. Following.

In the shank photo, Rizo has bumblefoot.

Thank you! That could be possible because i got these eggs from a person who had a lot of easter eggers. I ended up getting one for sure in the same hatch, aswell.

As a chick, she resembled another one that was basically identical to her. But here is what really got me thinking she was a green legged partridge.

She was identical to another chicken as a chick, except she had long mascara down to her ear, and the other one didn’t. The other one turned out to be a rooster. When i looked up green legged partridge, someone said that they can be sexed based off of eye mascara, and roosters have none, hens do!

That totally confused me!
