What am I?

[South Dakota Guy]

My wife purchased three unknown chicks from a store that had a large bin of mixed chicks that held "Breeders Choice Pullets". Ten weeks later We are still not sure what breeds they are.

The white chickens have a greenish tint to their yellow legs. The blue chicken has yellow legs instead of the dark color normally found on blue chickens legs. The blue is also larger that the two white ones. The beak on the blue chicken is yellow near the face but black near the tip.

From this view you can see that the darker plumage on the head separates into three distinct rows going down the breast.

I think the blue one is probably a Sapphire Gem.

Green legs are common in Easter eggers. There are many, many different kinds with brand names now, so I couldn't say which exact one your pullets are, but I do think they are some type of Easter egger.

Every Sapphire Gem photo that I have seen shows dark legs. My wife and I have speculated that she might be a Saphire Splash. We do think the white birds might be Easter Eggers. Hoover Hatchery supplies most of the stores around here and they do say that their EEs can come in any color.

I saw pictures of a few with yellow legs. SGs are hybrids, so there is a lot of variability with them.
