    Shipped pullets have very pale legs and combs

    Oh sorry! I hope that didn't seem rude to you! That's not how I meant it! No the color itself isn't important to me, not like in an appearance kind of way. Initially I thought they were yellow legged, so when we got them I thought they were ill or stressed making them pale. Then when I realized...

    Yeah I couldn't care less about leg color, I just hope the laying quality stayed true!

    Shipped pullets have very pale legs and combs

    I called and asked about leg color. She confirmed that they should have yellow legs, but her answer was just "there is some variance in leg color...maybe it'll change...". I don't know what I expected her to say, but with our yellow legged ladies, they were always yellow. These are clearly pink...

    Would you consider this normal for stressed pullets or does this look problematic? I gave them electrolytes this morning.

Out remaining flock was a 9 week old and an adult that were very much not a complete family together...

    Shipped pullets have very pale legs and combs

    Well I'm an idiot. Reading their description of the gel item available for purchase it says that they recommend it for day-old chicks, and when they describe it it sounds like something that you give them once they arrive. I feel like such a jerk. Seriously if it's something for them to survive...

    Shipped pullets have very pale legs and combs

    Thanks for the info! They looked terrible when they got here. I was afraid they were dead. Completely silent, laying down, not making any noise. When we let them out they acted ok. They are very scrawny (we have a 9 week old that looks better than these "15-22 week" year olds) and the tips of...

    Shipped pullets have very pale legs and combs

    We just received some shipped Red Star pullets this evening (don't ask how much shipping cost $$$, they are to replace the ladies we lost to an attack). Their combs, wattles, and legs are very pale. They are supposed to be yellow legs and they're white. They ate and drank immediately and are...
