Are my Buff Orpingtons normal?

[DreamsInPink]

Bf and I were sitting in the run today, just hanging with the peeps and I noticed my BO's legs are all really, really pale. Like almost white compared to the legs of my Isa Browns which are much more yellowish.

Is that normal?? Thank you!

That's the normal color of buff Orpington legs, they are a hues of white, with pink and red blushing.

That's how they're supposed to be.

The breeders of the Orpington wanted a white skinned bird (as opposed to yellow) because they liked the look of the carcass better on the table.
