Congratulations on her return !!
I also think she was feeding at someones bird feeder, and agree that you want her genes. For sure !
The leg color is what a bird coming into breeding condition should have, I have watched wild ones with that going from winter to breeding season, the closer that they get the redder. Frankly I have never paid attention to domestics other then with the Wishard, and when the hens were laying and the Toms prancing around it was quite noticeable.
I would have expected a return like that from a Wishard but am really surprised at the White making it. Tough girl!
