Do Coronation Sussex Chicks have yellow legs?

[BeardedLadyFarm]

I just got some week old chick from a friend, and want to confirm that she got what she paid for with her Coronation eggs.

They have YELLOW legs.

Thanks!

Sussex have white legs. Here are some pure and split chicks for comparison.

But do they hatch with yellow legs? These are just 1 week old and are mighty yellow. It raised concern for me of course... Do they fade, or should they be white from day 1?

I have a grown Light Sussex for comparison, but I didn't own her as a young chick.

Here are the little buggers in question. Right at 1 week old I think. All 7 look like this.

They ought not have any yellow cast at all. None. If they do, that will only become more poignant.

Look at RevolutionMamas old auctions- I bet you'll see some comparisons. Her stock is amazing.
