Gray feet!?!?!??

[LaNelle]

My leghorn has gray feet. I have pictures, altho they seem a bit darker than the feet really are. On another forum I asked about this, and someone suggested the pictures and it might be scaly leg mites, so thought I'd post a question here on diseases. This hen has been in her nesting box for 3 days. I made her come out this morning-she cackled at me as if bawling me out, but did scratch and peck and eat and drink a bit. And so I'm wondering if her gray feet are normal, if she's brooding, or what????? I'm new at this-have had my hens only 4 weeks today and have already dealt with cannibalism, a prolapse (which I learned about at this great website) and now this - - - - - is this fun, or what??

Thank you for your time to help me!!

some chickens have that leg color.
junglefowl have dark blue feet like that too. Don't worry too much

Those look normal to me.

Were her legs a different color before, or have they always been gray?

I have a chick with green feet and legs. I don't remember them looking different from the others when it was little, but as it's growing it's legs are definitely green!
