What am I KB?

So, I got a bunch of eggs from
@Killerbunny at the Odessa show in early June. Though I put 16 eggs under the Broody, only 2 hatched and this one the only survivor. It’s now about 5 weeks and thought I’d give KB a chance to guess what it is. I’m not sure what colour egg it came from but it was a greyish chipmunk at hatch.
So what do you think....

Ooh, ooh, I wanna play too! I got some eggs from KB last Spring, and I have a boy that looked a lot like that at that age. I'll have to get a current picture of him when home from work.

Oh I know the Mum! The legs should be feathered.

No feathers on the legs but they’re very yellow!
I’m thinking its going to be a boy, don’t mind either way as long as he’s good natured around people.

This is a possible Mum or her sister. They are ameraucana x light brahma. Depending on which sister the egg would have ben green or olive.
Other potential Mum is a black ameraucana (pure)
Dad is a very nice boy, light brahma x . Looks after his ladies and keeps a very careful eye on what you are doing around the coops. I've never seen any aggression to people. Also gets on fine with the turkeys even when they are very rude youngsters LOL! Will post pics.

Thanks KB! I think it’s a sister to the one I got from you the year before last? And dad is a very handsome fellow...
Look forward to seeing a pic of yours @windwalkingwolf too.

On a different note, the three Wyandottes I got from you last year I’ve named the Broody Bunch...2 of them have been brooding for the last month on nothing and the 3rd has been showing signs but has been kicked out of her preferred spot by the non Broodies just wanting to lay eggs! The one I thought I’d lost to a predator since I hadn’t seen her for a week but she’s popped out the last 2 mornings to eat but I haven’t a clue where she’s setting. The other was in the sheep pen and I’d take her off every night and throw her in the coop but every morning she’d go back to the empty nest...this went on for almost a month until earlier this week I was worried something had taken her sister and I locked them all in for 2 days. Silly birds!
The first 2 I got from you haven’t even tried going Broody at all...

Here are two that I'm fairly certain came from
@Killerbunny 's eggs. Cockerel in the rear, bright yellow clean legs; and pullet in the front, light blue legs with feathers.
