Seven weeks old now. Legs have seemingly…yellowed?

Thanks for all your input! I really appreciate it!

I have another thread going about her because I thought she was a BR cockerel but her legs aren’t that nice yellow color. They’re like yellow pink black?? Here’s another pic!

Yes, sorry I thought you meant other Blue Stars! First pic: Cream Brabanter Second pic: Up for debate right now - guesses include Olive Egger cockerel or Blue Cuckoo Marans pullet Third pic: Ancona, behind the Blue Star

She’s my only Blue Star so I don’t have anyone to compare her to unfortunately!

Alright, from my research it looks like Sapphire Gems are a bit different from Blue Stars. Sapphire Gem is a cross between Blue Star (Blue Plymouth Rock) and a Barred Plymouth Rock. The Blue Star is a cross between Andalusian and Barred Plymouth Rock. So, would the Blue Star still have this same...

It’s possible. Ideal Poultry has Blue Australorps, but I bought her from a feed store that gets their chicks from Ideal, and Blue Australorp wasn’t listed as an option when I purchased her.

Good morning! I posted on an existing thread about this under a different forum but I’m not sure if it was seen. I recently noticed a lot of redness on the face of one of my six-week old chicks. She’s supposed to be a pullet but I’m wondering if she’s a cockerel, or if the redness is from...

Here’s my big girl now at 12 weeks! @AATH how’s yours looking?

I just recently noticed this on one of my six-week old chicks! She’s supposed to be a pullet but I’m wondering if she’s a cockerel, or if the redness is from something else. She’s a Blue Star from Ideal Poultry, which is a cross between a Blue Andalusian and a Barred Rock. The comb is still...

We’ve been back and forth about mine until recently since she doesn’t have any male-specific feathering! Her comb and wattles are still significantly larger and redder than my other pullets. It’s been interesting. Yours does look so much like mine at that age 😂

Hi Pea people! A gorgeous white peahen showed up out of nowhere on our property yesterday and was socializing with our chickens and eating some of their food and treats! I have no clue where she came from. She walked off into the woods after a while and hasn’t returned today. Our nearest...

Update on my 11-week old beautiful black Australorp pullet! Just thought I’d continue posting pre-laying updates for others with potentially early blooming pullets.

Definitely an Ancona! I have an Ancona chick as well, now almost five weeks old, and she has actually turned out to be quite sweet and cuddly already. In the first couple of weeks she was pretty flighty and anxious but now she jumps up on me all the time to be pet. I’ve made it a point since day...

Thank y’all so much!! I appreciate it!

Thanks! What makes you say Olive Egger over Cuckoo Marans? I’m just interested to know what the little differences are so I can keep an eye out :)

Definitely! For some reason I didn’t even think of leg color when I got the chick and have just called it a Barred Rock for the past four weeks, haha! JedJackson thinks it’s an Olive Egger or maybe a Cuckoo Marans - do you have any thoughts on breed?

Also if you don’t mind explaining what makes you think Olive Egger vs Cuckoo Marans? Thanks :)

Thanks so much! I learn something new from y’all on BYC every day!

Thank you! If it helps this is what it looked like when I purchased it.
