Nope.

No, it just means that there is some genetic input in the mix, that is from a yellow-legged breed. No correlation to rooster versus hen, at all.

No. Yellow legs are just a characteristic of the breed (or mutt) And have nothing to do with gender.

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Yellow legs are recessive, meaning that the gene must be inherited from each parent, not just one. It is not sex-linked, although the id gene is.
