Ancona with relatively bright yellow legs and ear-lobes

[ackchicken]

I have 4 Ancona hens 1.5 yrs old and one recently started crowing. This particular chicken also has bright yellow legs and ear-lobes relative to the other hens. I never thought anything of it until now, when she became so noisy. Just curious if there could be a connection. Could the yellow color be a sign of a health problem and the noisy behavior another sign? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Glad you joined us! I am not familiar with this breed, so I don't know if the yellow earlobes are normal, or not. I'm going to suggest you ask on the Ancona thread:

Hello and Welcome to BYC.

If you are certain the one crowing is a hen with proof of having laid eggs or is it a rooster? Sumi has already given you the link to the Ancona thread. I would suggest you post the question with a pic to get some experienced input.

Here's a pretty good picture of the chicken in question relative to the others. You can see the stronger yellow color.[

Did you find any answers on this one? My Ancona who in the past month has moved up to top hen all of the sudden has yellow earlobes. Wondering if you found out if this is a hormonal thing.
