Is it normal for australorp to have this much coloring?

All of my chicks from white-skinned breeds have had white legs from hatch.

I was under the impression that it's a serious flaw of breeding for them not to.

Yes, just like yellow legs is a flaw in Marans. I'm not sure but it may be a disqualification. I don't see why any Marans breeder would breed a bird with yellow legs.

Yellow chick leg, transition to white.

It may happen, but the bird probably shouldn't be bred into the future of the line.

@MysteryChicken What breed is the bird in your photos?

She's a white skinned Satin produced through my Giant Silkie Project.

LF Silkie/Brahma X LF Silkie.

She's a good example. The majority of the Australorps, & Buff Orpingtons I've raised had yellow, & pink feet at days old.
I've had chickens since 2011.

It doesn't mean they carry the recessive yellow skin gene.

Kind of went off topic here. I was gonna help identify birds, but I guess I'll just leave it for the other's now.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the other three I posted…regardless of what the mom for this chick is, I’m still not certain what these other three are. I was supposed to have two Blue Star and two Blue Australorp.

If they have white under their feet they are probably Australorps, if yellow then they're probably Blue Stars.
