I got 3 chicks from a lady who said they were Jersey Giants. I know giants have yellow feet but these have pink but they are 10ish weeks. Will they yellow up?

Heres some pics from some weeks ago:

What color are the bottom of the feet?
All 3 of these breeds look alike when young and som what as adults..

Black Jerey Giants shanks and toes should be nearly black ( black preferred) Underpart of the feet should be yellow.

Black Orpington shanks and toes black to dark slate underpart of feet pinkish white.

Australorps shanks and toes black with underpart of feet white.

This right from APA book of standards..

My Jersey Giant's feet were yellow on the bottom as a week old chick. I hadn't thought about it much til a neighbor asked me about it weeks later. The tops of her feet got a darker black over time, but the bottoms never really changed much. I would say the yellow is as bright on the bottom of her feet as the yellow on the legs of my barred rock and Leghorn hybrid (Hyline.) Her skin is kind of yellowish when I move the feathers aside as well, where as my Australorp's skin is more whitish pink.

Here is a pic of mine at about 4 weeks old.
