I have a feather footed EE project next year. Feathered feet are gonna come from my bantam cochin roo. My goal for the project is to have a chicken that lays blue/green eggs and have a pea comb, muffs, and beard. Also hoping to have lots of color variation. I have three EE hens: Goldilocks, Spurrling, and Bluey. Goldilocks is just mixed color, Spurrling is blue with what is either just random patterning or really messy barring, and I think Bluey might be a blue partridge. Spurrling and Bluey are old and barely lay (I haven't even gotten any eggs from them the past few weeks) but Goldilocks is younger and a much better layer. Spurrling does't have muffs, and she does have a pea comb, but it's one that looks like her ameraucana ancestors were bred to single combed chickens for many generations, so it's kinda raised. Bluey isn't doing the best and Idk if she will even make it through the winter. So Goldilocks is the most likely hen. Hopefully I can get some younger EE hens next year. I also have a chicken show in a few month where they also sell chickens, so maybe I can get an ameraucana hen from there too.
