    Is this a problem: Buff Orpington's legs have turned pink?

    Hello! We have a Buff Orpington who is about 3 years old. Typically, her legs have been a light tan color. For the last few days, they've been quite pink. If anyone has witnessed this in their Orpington, could you please let me know whether or not this should be of concern? Thank you!
