Question about White Leghorns feet and leg color

[Ol Grey Mare]

Not sure if this is a Leghorn or not. It was the only survivor from my friends flock that was attacked by a fox. He doesn't remember the breed. Any ideas? She lays light brown eggs, small comb, and has green legs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not a leghorn - leghorns have yellow legs, a large single comb, white ear lobes and produce white eggs.

Any thoughts on what she might be?

Can you get a good head shot? Is she truly white or are there some brown flecks. .....not sure what I'm seeing is lighting, dirt or her color. From the tiny wattles it appears there is some bearding in her breeding (see what looks like a light beard in this shot). I'd suspect she has some EE in her breeding.

Not a Leghorn. I think she looks like she has some game hen in her.

I thought she might be an EE cross but can EE's lay light brown eggs? Well, I guess that'll depend what she's crossed with right?
She's all white, just a little dusty. Hope these pics help.

Yes, many easter eggers produce brown shaded eggs....well actually that opens up another debate as some assign easter egger to any mixed breed that has blue egg laying parentage while a more particular camp use the term only for the aforementioned birds that also produce blue/green eggs or, in the case of males, blue/green laying progeny. At the end of the day when crossing blue to brown it is possible for offspring to lay brown

Her comb and head looks like she may have Americauna in her, but they will lay green eggs if bred with something else. She sure is pretty, reminds me of some I used to have (cross of Americauna roo and prod red hen), mine were not all white though, they had streaks of black in them, but the heads are identical! Good luck!

This makes sense if true. I bought my brown leghorn from Rural King and she has gray legs. They already had the sex determined when I picked her out. Although, I though brown leghorns were easy to identify by their color as chicks. Who knows. I think the gray legs are cool!

I read somewhere if a leghorn is crossed with a rooster that has dark legs that the offspring will be sex linked by leg color. Boys will look like mom, yellow legs and girls will have dark legs like dad. Not sure how true it is...I 'm going to try it out if my leghorn ever cooperates and stops cracking her eggs!

This is one of my Leghorns. She has a green discoloration. Roo?
