My young Cubalaya Stag has red splotches on legs

[yardbirdhawk]

After fleeing South Florida to get away from Hurricane Irma, my pair of Cubalayas in hand, the Stag has developed these red splotches on both legs. My hen has no such splotches and they hang out together most all the time. Other than riding in cages in back of my truck all the way to Tennessee, no trauma has been experienced. They are in some type of cage all the time as the predator situation at my home is off the chain. He started eating her layer food the last couple of days, don't know if that could have anything to do with it. He doesnt seem to be in any pain, just a sudden (overnight) change in appearance. Any help with an explaination or diagnosis would greatly appreciated. See the pics. In one pic you can see his leg compared to hers.

That pinkish coloring on legs is very normal with some leg colors. It shows that both hens and roosters are fertile.

Yep especially white legs. My faverolles rooster is doing the same thing, looks a little grosser because its happening in between where his adult leg feathers are coming in. I thought he had mites or the plague for a little bit.
