ISA Brown - Orange Feet

[FlipiusFlopius]

Hi All,

I have six hens.
They all seem fine but one now has orange feet.
Does anyone know what this is?
Is she sick? Is it contagious? I've currently separated her from the rest of the flock.
Thanks for your help

Chickens can have all colors of feet/legs depending on breed. Orange/yellow is quite common as is black, slate, white, even blue or greenish.

Normal pigmentation.

Welcome to the forum, glad you joined!

Your photo looks normal to me. Some just have more pigment than others. ISA Browns are not show quality chickens, they are bred for egg laying. The breeder selecting which chickens get to breed is going to pay a lot more attention to egg laying than physical looks. You can often get variations in appearance.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Yellow pigmented legs are normal in a lot of breeds. This is my ISA.
