We have 20 leghorns which started laying over a month ago got up to 19 of them laying. Great , but now noticed there legs are a pale yellow color not a yellow like my red hens have.
Is this normal, i never really paid that much attention to them , they act fine , eat and drink fine. My dad mentioned this too me so I thought I would ask it.
Could this just be how this breed is?
 
NO!!!! These breeds are fantastic layers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have a rooster??? Some hens will be nervous (and pale) and will refuse to lay eggs without a rooster. Of course, they must lay. That's like not going to the bathroom. You gotta go sometime. If you do have a rooster, they might be rejecting him. The only thing that you can do then is leave it or get another rooster. It all depends on the rooster.

Hope I've helped and good luck!!!
