I bought hatching eggs and this guy doesn't seem to fit with jersey or australorp? It's eyes are amber and bright. Skin is white. Blue feathers with darker lacing, a few white feathers on wing tips.

It's certainly blue. What color Jersey Giants or Australorps were you expecting?

Jersey Giants are supposed to have yellow skin, and Australorps are supposed to have white skin.

The few white feathers in the wingtips are common in young chickens of any black or blue breed. Usually they will disappear when the chicken grows their adult feathers.

They were supposed to be blue/splash jersey giants. This ws the only one to hatch. Im thrown because the skin seems white, feet dont seem yellow. I'm trying to get a flock of only blue/splash jersey giants. So if he isn't a jersey I'll have to rehome.

I don't know, looks like a blue jersey giant to me.

Could he be a blue Jersey Giant? What makes you think he's something different?

The lack of yellow skin tells me he isn't a jersey. At least his skin looks white to me

Here is his skin, my other birds skin has a very distinctive yellow hue

Maybe he's slightly young, unique, or something? Where did you get the eggs?

 

[kmdodge2015]

Yes I was saying I wanted a flock of blue jerseys and splash jerseys.m, they were sold as a mix of blue jersey and splash jersey eggs.

Ebay, so anything is really possible.
