White legs in a Buckeye

[LaurenRitz]

According to the information I have found, Buckeyes should have yellow feet, but mine are white.

It doesn't matter much to me, but both Cackle Hatchery and Hoovers show birds with distinctly white feet in their pictures of the Buckeye.

This came to my attention because one of my crosses (JG/RIR/Marans) has distincly white feet, and I wonder how much mixing is being done in these breeds.

I am also curious as to which breeds might have gotten mixed in to produce white legged Buckeyes.

Are we talking about the bird in the photo? I don't think that is a buckeye. Along with the wrong feet color, they should also have pea combs and be mostly red with some black tail feathers.

No, that's the mixed breed rooster. I couldn't find a good picture of the Buckeye. I'll have to take one tomorrow.
