Wyondotte with grey feet? What breed is this?

I think they are interesting! They have the build and patterning of a Sussex but the color black is not correct.
I thought Javas were more splotchy and much more like a leghorn in build.

Hamburgs are small and lean. Definitely not hamburgs.
Definitely not Wyandotte's either.

Very interesting birds.

Javas are actually a larger dual purpose breed, with a shape similar to a Sussex. The reason they are often confused for exchequer Leghorns when young because the two breeds are very similar as chicks. Once the birds hit about 8 to 10 weeks, the differences between the breeds in build and ear color are clear.
