Ages at time of pics?
Odd such a diff in leg color.
Im going to play devil's advocate and say they probably just looked for a picture that looked like what she did look like. Most people don't take pictures of their run of the mill chickens, its only in hindsight they found a need for pictures.
But hens turning into the rooster phenotype isn't unheard of or impossible. And all yellow leg/beak/skin chickens turn white while they are laying. So I believe its probable she looked just like that. They must have got a bit flustered when asked about the differences/doubt so told what they thought was an inconsequential fib and then ghosted. But we've all done that at one point or another, its nothing really. I just want to know more about this chicken.
I'm sure we can all agree that we would love to get some actual photos of this chicken as it is today and whatever else you got in her and not just a similar chicken. If she had brothers to compare to that could be interesting.
The beak color is different to me also.Ages at time of pics?

Ha! Good call.Hmm, I see you say those pictures are about a year and a half apart, but was that first picture also taken about 10 years ago? Because I just found it in a post from September 2010, and that person said it was an image they just found on the internet.
