Leg color question

[3 Chicks]

I was just looking at pictures of 6 week old Barred Rocks online and noticing that the leg color of the ones I saw were very yellow/orange. Mine is very dull greyish. Is that an indication of anything health related?

Are yours hatchery stock?

I believe so...I purchased them from a feed store but believe they get them from a hatchery. Why do you ask?

 

[Kevin565]

Hatchery Birds can sometimes have the a color different than the SOP calls for.

Hmmmm. So nothing health related then? More of a breeding thing? Thanks for your response.

Most likely yes it's just breeding related.It doesn't make them any less beautiful though!
