is it a DQ on cornish when showing? i have only seen hens before and i like the look of them and so do the kids. i also only do bantams lol. hoping to get some hatching eggs for next month for the kids as i like hatching eggs better and raising the chicks myself because thus far the 7 chickens that i have gotten from other people are all very very flighty and i have been working on handling them on a daily basis and they are slowly getting used to it (they aren't trying to peck me nor squawking in my ears thank god for that for it hurt my ears it was so loud)It is common in Dk Cornish bantams. It is actually a small bald spot.

You want yellower legs? Feed your birds insects that eat greenery. Caterpillars, grasshoppers, etc. Here is how it works. Green plants are full of carotinoids. Insects that eat plants concentrate the carotenoids in their bodies. The birds eat the insects concentrate the carotenoids even more strongly in their bodies. Carotenoids are yellow and deposit in the legs, turning light yellow legs a darker yellow. Apparently corn will do this too. I had some free ranging Cornish this year whose legs were so yellow they were almost green! Makes the fat yellow, too.
