leg color

[MomtoSyd&Emma]

We have 3 Buff Orpington Pullets that are about 15 weeks old now. 2 of the 3 have sorta flesh colored legs and one has yellow legs? Why the difference in leg color? Here is the best picture I have to show what I mean...

I believe the yellow legged one is a golden comet, a production hen of mixed variety. Will be an awesome egg layer, if I'm correct.

Really? Wow, I didnt know that MM sold them, these pullets were from a Professor at the local university whom bought them to use in the farming areas. She had to buy them in lots of 25 and they were sold as Buff Orps and Hamburgs (I have one of those) I will have to email her and let her know this!

Yelowleged bird is not Golden Comet.Golden Comets are red-brown birds with white tail.If this bird is pure breed it only can be Buff Rock who are yelow leged or Buff Leghorn

In any case, you have 3 beautiful pullets, and I agree, not Gold Comets. I have 4 of those, which is also the red sex link, blablabla
