Roosters- red legs and feet

[Jenjens]

Hi, I know that roosters feet get red when their testosterone is high. I have a production red fella and they seem to be pretty red all the time. I have no picture. I am just wondering if any one knows if they are supposed be red for his breed? Maybe the change of weather is also causing it? His feet look healthy, they are just red.

he is 1 1/2 years old

Thank you!

It's really hard to say for sure without a photo. But if he seems healthy I don't think I'd worry too much

I'm curious about this too. I have 4 mth old Buff Orpington cockerel that's feet are turning red. So it's normal? Please ignore his sad tail feather. He annoyed the girls a little too much, and they retaliated by pulling out his tail feathers.

My boy's look the same. I guess it's normal?

Same here. Red racing stripe down the outside of my 7 month old BO cockerel's legs.

It's normal.
Concerned me too when I first saw it years ago.
