My chickens have BLUE feet!

[Brianna245]

I need some chicken advise!

My almost 2 month old buff orpington x light sussex hens have blueish feet, and They've slowly darkened since being chicks. Does this mean they have some easter egger in them? Or is this common for their breed mix?

They are healthy looking feet so I don't think its anything to do with their health.
Thanks in advance for any info

Blue skin is the result of dark skin under white skin. So it shows through as blue. It's just genetics.

I have some Mosaics, they are bred for blue skin all over, including turquoise ears, and blue beaks... Often their shanks are Olive colored instead because they also carry a yellow gene. I'm going to try to breed mine for straight blue.
