Leg color

If i were to go the second route would it be better to cross a yellow legged male with one of my hens or vice versa?

Probably yellow legged male.
If any sex-linked genes are involved, that would be the more useful direction.
And if there are no sex-linked genes involved, then the direction won't matter.

Also, it may be easier to find good males, just because so many people want hens

That's very true, people post plenty of good looking roosters on facebook.

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated

She is about a year old now. If anything, I would say that her legs have darkened with time.

Oh, really?
She must have dark yellow shanks then. Half, & half.

It should be easily bred out.

I found an old photo of her. I havent looked at any of them for such a long time. It is very neat to see all of the changes! You can definitely see the wash on her toes
