Just in Time for Easter

Just when chickens start to get boring... we have an odd chick in our collection of frankenbirds and Gold Comets.  It could be a gold rooster...or it could be an Easter Egger!

The Easter Eggers can lay any color of eggs ranging from brown to green to blue.  They aren't really a breed, just a description of a mutt-like bird that has roots with the americauna/aracaunas (the green legs are the tell-tale sign).  Gold Comets are supposed to have only yellow legs (although I did come across a hatchery that said sometimes a roo will have olive-colored legs).

If it's a rooster, it won't lay any eggs at all...and will have to leave the flock.  Five roosters is enough!
