My NH Reds are about 15 weeks old...... they all seem normal and healthy but one of the hens has white legs instead of yellow. Is that normal ? I have 26 of them so its hard to track her down and get a photo but I might try later.

Many english breeds have white legs. It's just a sign of cross breeding in the past which your birds will sometime display.
 
Yeah, bet it's something in the genetics if only one has white legs and they are not laying yet. I know my leghorn girl had these bright bananna yellow legs when she was young... now after laying dozens of eggs over the past year... Her legs are as white as a sheet of paper!
