Interesting, I'll have to take a look in daylight.I have noticed in my flock that the boys with white legs tend to have much more red in their feathers, like Seabrightsrock's photo, while the boys with yellow legs have more orangey feathers. Has anyone else noticed this in their flocks?
A question. My little flock of chicks are running away from human contact. They crowd together in the corner of their brooder when I go to change the water or feed. Not sure if now is the time to start enticing them with treats or wait a bit. They seem adamant that humans are evil. I kind of think it's the age. My other hens learned eventually as they grew that people=food. While I never convinced them to love being handled I would prefer the Olandsk dwarfs to be OK with it. Advice welcome.

I think your right because I just took a look at 2 cockerals that are the same age one with yellow legs one with white legs and the yellow legged one did seem to have more orange on him.I have noticed in my flock that the boys with white legs tend to have much more red in their feathers, like Seabrightsrock's photo, while the boys with yellow legs have more orangey feathers. Has anyone else noticed this in their flocks?
Is there a SOP for these bird? Are people trying to come up with one? Yellow legs and skin vs white? I know they are considered a landrace, but are there standards? I don't have any birds yet, just thinking about getting some hatching eggs next time I have a broody.
Any info is welcome.
