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.
I believe that crossing a yellow leg to a willow leg should make all the chicks yellow legged (carriers for willow). So if you are getting both willow and yellow from these birds then the yellow-legged bird carries the gene for the green legs.
Oh, that is even better!!!! Thanks shelleyd2006.
