Cara, that is willow legs color which is better than green legs.....if you X her to a pure yellow legs roos you will have higher percentage of yellow legs offspring compare to green legs. I got a yellow legs roos and a green legs hen from Jerry while back, they produce about 25% yellow, 25% green and 50% willow. Then I X the willow legs daughter to the dad and so far they produce all yellow legs offsprings. Any ways, that pullet is adorable indeed.
probably a Newb question but what is the difference between Swarthy and Willow? is swarthy black/yellow and willow black / green ? thanks
Swarthy is 'dirty yellow' (black and yellow mixed) and willow is just another name for green...any shade of green is willow.
