I just got some week old chick from a friend, and want to confirm that she got what she paid for with her Coronation eggs.

They have YELLOW legs.

Thanks!
 
Sussex have white legs. Here are some pure and split chicks for comparison.

But do they hatch with yellow legs? These are just 1 week old and are mighty yellow. It raised concern for me of course... Do they fade, or should they be white from day 1?

I have a grown Light Sussex for comparison, but I didn't own her as a young chick.
 
They ought not have any yellow cast at all. None. If they do, that will only become more poignant.
 
Look at RevolutionMamas old auctions- I bet you'll see some comparisons. Her stock is amazing.

Thanks Renee. I tried to PM you, but your box is full!

Sorry- PFM expired and I'm 18 pages over quota and have to keep the conversations for records...so until I renew it, I'm email-only! I can't afford it right now.
 
Hey, Rockinpaints has some up for auction right now, I bet they have proper pics of white legs- I'll pm them to post shots.
