Are those feet yellow on top and on the legs also? Can we see a picture of the chicken that those feet are attached to?

How long does it take JGs to start laying? And does anybody have a picture of a JG egg next to a standard egg? Thanks!

Yellow should only be on the bottom of the feet, not on the legs or tops and sides of feet.

Kathy, I thought it was okay for the yellow to run up the backs of the legs, but not the sides/fronts? Hmmm....SOP states, "SHANKS & TOES: Nearly black with a tendency towards willow; black preferred. Underpart of feet, yellow."

So I guess that means it's okay to have it running up the back of the legs, as it doens't show as a DQ, but it's apparently not preferred? Is that how you read it, too?

Last year that is why I culled all of my Sandhills Giants, because they had yellow leaking on the top of the foot and a couple up the side of the leg. I asked one of the APA judges (I think it was NYREDS, but not sure), and he said it should only be on the bottom of the feet.
